A two-day international training camp in American Football will be held in Sofia on October 16-18 2009 under the patronage of the International Federation of American Football, organisers said.

The camp will take place at the training filed of Team Sofia club which uses the old Akademik stadium, next to Pliska hotel on Tsarigradkso Chausse boulevard (the area is also known as the Fourth Kilometre, where Sofia University St Kliment Ohridski has a campus).

A total of five foreign coaches in American Football will come to Bulgaria at the invitation of Bulgarian Federation of American Football.

Three of them, coming from Sweden, will hold the training sessions which will include Team Sofia players and players from two Romanian teams - The Bucharest Predators and The Bucharest Warriors.

Organisers expect more then 100 participants at the event which will show the level of the sport on the Balkans.

For Team Sofia, the camp will mark the end of their pre-season preparations in the light of the upcoming game against Istanbul's Cavaliers scheduled for November this year.
