Levski Sofia's victory over FC Baku has guaranteed 3.56 million euro revenue in the club's budget from European participation so far.
Levski Sofia are about to complete their first overseas transfer of the summer, as negotiations between the German side FC Koln the Bulgarian champions reach their final phase.
Levski beat Litex Lovech 1-0, winning the trophy for the third time in their history, but had to endure the final 10 minutes of the encounter with only nine men on the pitch.
New Levski manager says the team is ready for the encounter: 'There is a passion, a desire amongst the players to win, the morale is great and the spirit in the last days has been excellent.'
Batkov: I think it's shameful for the players to expect to receive bonuses for beating a team like Julia. In fact, I am actually more concerned that one of our players got sent off and the other one 's got a booking"
A poor first half performance, home supporters chants for club leadership to resign, and a lively second half. Levski won, but there are more questions than answers after their July 15 performance.
Co-operation and synergy between the police, sports organisations, regulatory agencies and the community in general is vital if we want to prevent sport from losing its true meaning and value, Ronald Noble said.
Poland will host Euro 2012 championships along with Ukraine between June 8 and July 1.
For the past two years, BFU has been exploring the possibility of making a joint bid with Romania, winning the support of Prime Minister Boiko Borissov.
