 | | CSKA Sofia, unarguably the most successful Bulgarian team, was formed on May 5, 1948 by merging the clubs Septemvri and Chavdar and initially named "Septemvri pri CDV". |
 | | CSKA 'hatched' many famous players, most notably the two successive waves of Dimitar Penev's discoveries; the first one including Hristo Stoichkov, Lubo Penev and Emil Kostadinov in the late 80's and the second one-Stiliyan Petrov, Dimitar Berbatov and Martin Petrov, introduced to the first team by Penev in late 90's. |
 | | CSKA Septemvriisko Zname was renamed "Sredets" and Levski-Spartak was renamed "Vitosha." Additionally, several major players including Kostadin Yanchev, Borislav Mikhailov, Plamen Nikolov, Emil Spasov, Emil Velev and the yet unknown Hristo Stoichkov were prohibited from participating in club games for varying periods of time. |
