President Message
Dear Friends of Football, by this short address I would like to make an appeal to you - let us keep alive the romantic of our beloved game. The football is an universal language giving people of different race, culture and religion the rare chance of free communication. Football has been transformed into an important business during the recent years but let us not forget that its major philosophy has been to bring people together and to create friendship. Therefore let us preserve the genuine values of the football, let us protect it from huligan and racial violence, non-regulated bookmakers' bets and the ever growing commercial attitude.

It unites the football clubs from the professional leagues, represents the interests of their members before Bulgarian Football Union (BFU), organizes and manages the state football Championships, the Cup and the Super cup of Bulgaria with a decision of the Executive committee of BFU under the conditions and the order, specified in the internal acts of BFU for state championships, supports the football clubs in their licensing.
