FC Shumen 1929 (Bulgarian: ФК Шумен 1929) is a Bulgarian football club from the city of Shumen, which currently competes in North-Eastern section of Bulgaria's 3rd football league. Shumen 1929 plays its home matches at the local Panayot Volov Stadium. The main kit colours of the team are yellow and blue. Because of the city's famous brand of Shumensko beer, they are often affectionately called Пивоварите, or The Brewers.

History

The team was founded in the summer of 2013 as an alternative to the other local club PFC Shumen 2010, which had been struggling financially for a number of years.^[1]

The newly founded FC Shumen 1929 played together and shared a stadium with the old club during the 2013–14 V AFG season, resulting in the most recent 'Shumen derby' taking place in one of the top three levels of Bulgarian football. FC Shumen 1929 won the first game 3:1 on September 22, 2013, and followed that up with another win on April 5, 2014, this time with a scoreline of 2:1. At the end of the 2013/14 season, PFC Shumen 2010 was relegated from the North-Eastern V Group, and soon after disbanded, continuing to field youth formations only.^[2] Since then, FC Shumen 1929 has been the highest-ranked team from the city within the Bulgarian football pyramid, but has yet to progress to Bulgarian B Professional Football Group or qualify for the Bulgarian Cup main stages.
