Krumovgrad: Arda again did not allow us to host in Kardzhali

The newcomer to the elite Krumovgrad announced that once again Arda did not allow the team to host in Kardzhali. We remind you that the team was rejected by the people of Kardjalija this season as well. The idea of ​​the newcomers is that Kardzhali is closer to Krumovgrad and there will be more fans at home matches.

The team also stated that the new season of the team is expected to open in 2025.

This season, Krumovgrad hosts the club base of Botev and trains in the village of Orizari. It is expected that this will be the case in the new season as well, after Arda refused to host the team in Kardzhali.

Here is the full statement:

Dear citizens of Krumovgrad,

in our country and around the world,

It is with excitement and pride that we want to share with you our joy at the successes of our team. Three years ago, we did not even dare to think that our small town would ever have a team in the elite league of Bulgaria. And today, FC Krumovgrad is in sixth place in the Efbet League and is next to the giants of Bulgaria.

We would also like to share our satisfaction with the full support given to us by the leadership of the Krumovgrad Municipality. The idea for a new stadium in Krumovgrad is already materializing in specific plans and deadlines. We believe that next year, 2025, we will have a stadium meeting the highest requirements of FIFA and UEFA, and we will support, empathize and enjoy our favorite team.

In this regard, once again we made an attempt for FC Krumovgrad to play its home matches in the town of Kardzhali. After all, we are in the same area and only 40 km from each other. Many people from Krumovgrad live in Kardzhali, and many people from Kardzhali came to support us at our matches in the second and third leagues in Krumovgrad.

For the second year in a row, we receive the categorical refusal of a person with an unclear status in “Arda” Kardjali – Ramadan Yashar. And while last year we swallowed and went to Plovdiv without informing the public in our native region, this year we will share the “arguments” of Ramadan Yashar. And they are that if FC Krumovgrad plays two matches a month at Arena Arda, the pitch will be irretrievably damaged. We were unceremoniously told to look for another place.

Ramadan Yashar may believe the “arguments”, but we want to remind him that it was we, the people of Krumovgrad, involved with the FC Krumovgrad team, who supported the “Arda” Kardzhali team in the third and second leagues. We covered 95% of the budget of “Arda” Kardzhali, driven by the understanding that our beautiful native region deserves a team in professional football. Thanks to our over seven-figure investment in “Arda”, the city of Kardzhali has a team in the Efbet League. There are documents for this in “Arda” and with us.

We thought about keeping quiet this year as well, but the attitude and ingratitude is insulting.

We want to assure our fellow citizens that we will move steadily towards the set goal. Namely, to hear the name of the city through the team and whoever is connected or once his ancestors were connected to Krumovgrad, if possible, to do something for the future of the city.

We had no idea to impress with football successes, but they did!

With respect,

The management of FC Krumovgrad
