Globul extends contract with Bulgarian Football Union

BFU president Borislav Mihailov

Mobile operator Globul has extended its sponsorship contract with the Bulgarian Football Union (BFU), the football association said in a statement posted on its website.

The new deal was signed on March 26 and will keep Globul as the main sponsor of Bulgaria's national side until the summer of 2010, the statement said.

No financial details were disclosed, but Globul will continue to advertise its brand, products and services through the national team and television coverage related to it. A special clause states that a bonus would be paid to the national side should they manage to qualify for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Globul, Bulgaria's second-largest mobile operator, has been one of the biggest sponsors of the BFU since 2003 and "it is one of the main priorities of the company's sponsorship policy".

"The financial assistance extended to the Bulgarian national football team is amongst the most important activities of Globul, that and the support of Bulgarian sports and athletes," the statement read.

Hristo Stoichkov rejects Bulgarian Football Union role

Former Barcelona and Bulgarian national football team star Hristo Stoichkov has declined an invitation to join the board of the Bulgarian Football Union (BFU), which is to be confirmed at the BFU congress later in January, reports in Bulgaria said. Stoichkov, whose disastrous stint in charge of the Bulgarian national team ended in his acrimonious departure half-way through the Euro 2008 qualifying cycle. BFU is run mainly by the team that finished fourth in the 1994 World Cup, but Stoichkov, the star of that side, appears to have rebuffed the latest approach to play a bigger role in how BFU is run.
