History

The CSKA Basketball team took over the AC-23, a team which finished in the second place in the national championship in 1942. In 1946, BC "Chavdar" was formed and finished third in the championship. In 1948, the team was renamed as "Septemvri" under authority of the Central Military Club and finished in the second place. In 1949, the club won the golden medal at the national championship. In 1950, the team (again renamed as "Narodna voiska") was national champion and repeated the success in 1951. Altogether, the team has won 12 first places, 14 second places and 3 third places in the National Championship. The founders of the club are Kosyo Totev, Iliya Angelov, and Tonko Rainov. Within 1948–1974 period, 26 players of the club became Masters of Sports – an honorable title for the most skilled and distinguished sportsmen in Bulgaria. The most successful period of the club was 1990–1992, when the team became the national champion for three years in a row.
