The protest against BFS has started, fans are already gathering around the Vasil Levski National Stadium

Football fans have started to gather around the Vasil Levski National Stadium for the upcoming protest against the BFS management, which is scheduled for 17:00.

A large number of police officers have been stationed around the facility since early afternoon. At around 4:15 p.m., Evlogi Georgiev Boulevard at Orlov Most in Gurko Street was closed, allowing only public transport buses to pass through. A little later, traffic in the other direction from Dragan Tsankov Boulevard was also stopped.

Previously, a similar restriction was also placed in front of the main entrance of the Vasil Levski National Stadium on Gurko Street to the building of the Ministry of Youth and Sports. The uniformed formed a buffer zone next to Lyuben Karvelov Street, where the fans have permission to gather for their protest event. Law enforcement officers also have a water cannon.

The uniformed have formed a perimeter around the National Stadium from the Orlov Bridge, near the monument to the Soviet Army and in the Boris Garden in front of the CSKA “Bulgarian Army” stadium and around the public transport stop at the corner of “Dragan Tsankov” and “Evlogi Georgiev” boulevards.

The national football team of Bulgaria will play tonight at 19:00 a European qualifier against Hungary behind closed doors at “Vasil Levski”.
