Balkans Could Get a New Football Powerhouse with a 120 Million Euro Stadium!?

Bulgarian football could get a completely new image this season, as Ludogorets' years-long dominance seems to be finally coming to an end. The Razgrad club has ruled the league since the 2011/12 season, but now, with six rounds left, they are ten points behind the leading Levski Sofia, who are on the verge of a long-awaited title.

  • Bostandzhiev plans to make Levski a recognizable European club and build a stable, long-term system.
  • A new multi-functional stadium, 'Georgi Asparuhov', valued at 120 million euros, is planned with construction expected to start in 2027.
