PFC Beroe Stara Zagora (Bulgarian: ПФК Берое Стара Загора) or simply Beroe (Bulgarian: Берое) is a Bulgarian professional association football club based in Stara Zagora, that competes in the Parva Liga, the top division of the Bulgarian football league system. The club was founded in 1916 under the name Vereya. The club's colours are green and white.
Since then the home ground of Beroe has been the homonymous Beroe Stadium in Stara Zagora with a seating capacity of 12,128. Beroe were the 1986 champions of Bulgaria and they also won the Bulgarian Cup twice in 2010 and 2013. The club's most noted and successful player is Petko Petkov, 2 times A Group Top Scorer: 1974 (with 20 goals) and 1976 (with 19 goals).
Football was played in Stara Zagora as early as 1916, however with no organized championship in Bulgaria until the late 1920s, numerous clubs enjoyed regional success in those early years for the game in both the city and Bulgaria itself. Beroe can trace its roots back to 4 May 1924, when it was founded as Beroya, after the merger of two other clubs – Borislav and Rekord.
