History and Achievements
The club has met much domestic and international success making it the most successful Bulgarian club in history. CSKA has won the Bulgarian championship 31 times. The club's greatest domestic triumph was an unbroken string of national victories between 1954 and 1962 (a record written in the Guinness Book of Records). CSKA Sofia's presence on the European scene started with a glorious victory over Dinamo Bucharest 8:1 on October 21st 1956. Significantly, the club also twice reached the Semi-final stage in the UEFA European Champions Cup (today known as the UEFA Champions League) in 1967 and 1982 and once reached the Semi-final stage of the UEFA Cup Winner's Cup in 1989. CSKA managed to eliminate a reigning European Champion three times: Ajax Amsterdam, Nottingham Forest, and Liverpool FC respectively. In addition, CSKA eliminated over the years clubs such as Juventus FC(as champions of Italy), Real Sociedad(as champions of Spain), Monaco(as champions of France), Parma FC, Bayer Leverkusen, Olympiakos and many others and played memorable matches with Internazionale, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Valencia CF, Barcelona CF etc. The Club is still ranked 25th in the Champions' Cup All-Time Rankings. Two players managed to win the European Golden Boot while playing in CSKA - the CSKA all-time goals record holder Petar Zhekov (in 1966, scoring 36 times) and the famous Hristo Stoichkov (in 1989 with 38 goals). CSKA nurtured many famous players, generating various dream teams through the decades. Most notably for their international success were two waves of Dimitar Penev’s discoveries; the first including Hristo Stoichkov, Luboslav 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 the late 90’s.

2008 problems with UEFA
In early June 2008, UEFA notified the Bulgarian Football Union that CSKA will not receive a license for participation in the UEFA Champion's League and other European tournaments because of financial problems.[4] The BFU then speculated that this would mean that CSKA would not be able to take part in the A Professional Football Group of Bulgaria, effectively turning it back into an amateur team. Attempts to arrange a settlement with UEFA were unsuccessful, but the BFU still hopes that the football club will be able to put their financial state in shape before the 2008/2009 season starts, so it can at least play in the A Group, this will involve selling many of their star players. The person generally blamed for the situation was Alexander Tomov, chairman of the supervising council of CSKA. Later he dropped from his position.
