History
Botev Galabovo was founded in 1945. The team has never played in the Bulgarian first tier, spending their entire history bouncing between the second and third tiers.
In 2019, Botev reached the quarter-finals of the Bulgarian Cup, beating FC Vitosha Bistritsa in the round of 16, with a score of 2–1.
In May 2020, Botev was disqualified from the 2019-20 season in the second tier due to financial problems. The team then refused to be admitted into the third tier for the upcoming season, instead opting to start from the fourth regional league.
