Bulgarian Football Union

In a pivotal moment for Bulgarian football, the Bulgarian Football Union (BFS) convened an extraordinary congress at the Marinela Hotel in Sofia to elect a new president after the resignation of Borislav Mihaylov, who held the position for 18 years. The congress, which commenced at 10:30 a.m., saw the emergence of seven candidates vying for Mihaylov's former position.

Lyubomir Nikolov, Director of the Metropolitan Directorate of Internal Affairs, announced the mandatory use of body cameras for all street-deployed police officers. However, specifics regarding implementation timelines and procurement remain undisclosed, as highlighted during his interview with "Nova TV."

Dimitar Berbatov, the renowned former football sensation, declared his bid for the presidency of the Bulgarian Football Union (BFU) during a press conference held today at BTA. With the BFU Congress date confirmed, Berbatov seized the opportunity to unveil the core principles and priorities outlined in his campaign.
