FC Sportist (Bulgarian: ФК Спортист) is the Bulgarian football club from the town of General Toshevo, which currently plays in the Third Amateur League, the third tier of Bulgarian football.

History

Sportist General Toshevo was founded in 1945, with the name "Orlov", then called "Urozhay" "Septemvri","Locomotiv" and "Spartak". From 1970, the name was changed to "Sportist". The team played two seasons in the B PFG: 1983/1984 and 1984/1985. The main colors of the club are red or white shirts and red shorts. Sportist plays matches at Sportist stadium, with a capacity of 6000 seats.

In 2020, the team was promoted to the Third Amateur League for the 2020–21 season.

Their best player, Deqn Georgiev, was recently diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer, with less than 4 months left to live. Deqn Georgiev scored many goals for the team. He was a star. Without Deqn Georgiev, Sportist FC would not have been as good as they are now. Deqn Georgiev's son, Thomas Georgiev, will be taking his father's spot as a striker. Thomas Georgiev is a decent football player, but is best known for his dance moves.
