| March the 3rd, 1913- Varna's academy for men becomes the birth place of organized football in the country. Here is created "Galata" association, which later on, by the suggestion of a techer named Karel Shkorpil, chenges its name to "Reka Ticha"- which was the former name of the "Kamchia" river. |

 |
| Over the next year it combines with "Sportist" and grows to association of the education, sport and tourism "Reka Ticha". The football team dominates all others in the city, whose existence is quite short. The first international game of "Ticha" in 1915 with 21th Pomeranski polk is a success, and during 1917, so is the first inter-city match. |
| The growth of bulgarian football requires knowledge of the rules, so "Ticha" published for the first time in our coutry in 1919 the book "Football - rules and admonitions". Significant are the first meetings between "Ticha" and the capital teams. In 1919 the first away game of "Levski" is celibrated with a firts victory for us - 4:1! The same goes for "Slavia" FC - 3:0. On the return game as guests, the Varna players |
| win against "Slavia" 1:0. The game with "Levski" does not take place because the city mayor does not allow it, since there was protest that same day. This beginning of victories against capital teams will be continued by not only "Ticha", but "Vladislav" and "Shipshenski Sokol" as well. January the 21st, 1919- the association chenges it's name to "Ticha" Sports Club, and official colours of the outfit are red and white. "Ticha" is proud of the team anthem written by its president - |
| Nikola Nitsov. In 1920, a magazine called "Ticha" is published, which contains different articles abour tourism, various sports, book reviews and performance evaluations. It is there that the idea of creating a comitee of all bulgarian clubs comes up for the first time. So this is how we helped football not only for the clubs, but for the whole coutry altogether. In 1923, "Ticha" wins the Special Cup by beating "Pobeda" Pleven 9:0, and "Preslav" 5:1. During that same year "Ticha" combines forces with its branch "Shipka" SC, and registrates itself to the city. The success of "Ticha" continues. In 1925 |
| "Ticha" win the Cup of Bucharest - the first sports trophey won for our country outside its borders! The official international matches of "Ticha" earn it the 1st place among all the teams in Varna. Players from Romania, Egypt, Serbia etc. have felt the power of our team, and they could do nothing but admire the football skill that it has shown them! Nikola Liutskanov, as a center forward is with 4 caps in the national team and 2 goals in the period untill 1927. Boyan Byanov is the first provincial participant in the olympic team in 1924. In the national team against Romania, all players are from Varna with the exception of one from "Levski" Sofia. The successes of "Ticha" follow a tradition do reach the top. After the team becomes |
| vice-champion in 1935 and 1936, comes the creation of the National Football Division. During the two half-seasons 1937/38, "Ticha" is the best football team. It so happens, that the last game in that season between "Ticha" and "Vladislav" has to decide the national champion. Both teams are way ahead of the capital ones and are unreachable. "Ticha" needs a tie, while only a victory satisfies "Vladislav". On the 31st of July |
 |
| 1938, "Kolodrum" stadium is overflowing with spectators. The game ends with a 0:0 tie and "Ticha" are the new national leaders! During 1939 the hegemony of the Varna teams continues, as "Vladislav" finish |
| the season in second place again, while "Ticha" ends up third. Let's not forget the fact that "Ticha" begins to publish the first sports newspaper outside of the nation capital Sofia : The "Provincial Sport"! In this period of great successes for "Ticha", comes the quiestion of building our own stadium. The president of the club Vladimir Chakarov is the main |
| initiative of that idea, and hundreds of "Ticha" fans volunteer freely to build the playground. |
