History
PFC Lokomotiv Stara Zagora started their women division in 1989 and joined in the Bulgarian Women's Football Championship, winning the title in 1991–92. Shortly after that, the team was dissolved along most of female teams in Bulgaria.
In 2018 a women's team was re-established after Beroe's folding of the women's league.
