Spartak II (Bulgarian: Спартак II) or Spartak 2 is a Bulgarian football team based in Varna. Founded in 2021, it is the reserve team of Spartak Varna, and currently plays in Third League, the third level of Bulgarian football.

Obliged to play one level below their main side, Spartak II is ineligible for promotion to First League and also can not compete in the Bulgarian Cup.

## History

[edit]

Since 2015, the Bulgarian Football Union allowed Bulgarian teams to have reserve sides in the lower regional divisions. In 2021 Spartak started a reserve squad in Third League.[1] In 2023 the team expressed desire to take the first place and promote to Second League.[2] In 2023, Vasil Petrov was promoted to lead the first team, returning in charge of Spartak after he once managed the team to promote to First League, with Ivelin Petkov becoming the new manager of Spartak II.[3] On 10 January 2024 Kyriakos Georgiou was announced as the new director of Spartak Academy and Spartak II manager.[4] Day later, after a meeting between fans and the team owner, he decided to not take Georgiou, because of the huge dissaproval of the fans.[5]
