Futbolen kompleks Botev 1912


Futbolen kompleks Botev 1912 is a football complex in the Komatevo neighbourhood of Plovdiv, Bulgaria, which is the home of Botev Plovdiv and its youth academy.
The first squad have been using the venue for their training and official matches since late 2013, because their official stadium, the Hristo Botev Stadium is being reconstructed. From the summer of 2014 the redevelopment is on hold, due to the lack of funding.
In 2017, the football complex was leased to Maritsa Plovdiv, until their stadium was licensed for professional football matches.
