“Razvitie” reviving the Bulgarian futsal
08.12.2017
Corporation “Razvitie” has a new challenge – the revival of the sport futsal in Bulgaria.
At the end of January 2018 the National Football League “Razvitie” was launched. 10 teams will play in three cities - Sofia, Russe and Varna, for the Cup of “Razvitie”.
Several months ago, the chief development manager Aleksandar Alexandrov took over the leadership of the Futsal and Mini Football Committee at the Bulgarian Football Union. A program for the development of futzala has already been developed, with the emphasis on expanding the size of this extremely popular amateur sport, in Bulgaria.
League “Razvitie” plays a very important role in the 4-year futsal development program. For the first time prize money are introduced for the winners - 10, 5 and 3 thousand Bulgarian leva for the champion, second and third teams respectively. During the tournaments the money for the food for the teams is also taken care of by the sponsor. The idea is to stimulate the participation of the clubs in the championship as well as the creation of new teams in cities outside the traditional futsal centers in our country.
Sport Minister Krasen Kralev assessed highly the first steps of the new commission. The reason for his meeting with the leadership of the committee was practice match of our national futsal team against the team of Cyprus, which the Bulgarian lions won with 2: 1.
For the chief manager of “Razvitie”, who has a tremendous experience as a donor in helping children’s and adolescents’ sport, the sport amateurism is extremely important.
For Alexandrov, it is a real challenge to revivethe futsal, as it is unacceptable that this serious sport with so many supporters and opportunities for organizing and attracting amateurs in the halls, to be lost in our country.
It is an alphabetical fact that, the foundation of a well-developed sports and healthy nation are the children and the amateurs, and especially when it comes to "king football", serious efforts, good financing and perfect logistics are needed to attract newcomers.
For the “Razvitie” corporation, these are familiar things, given the serious experience surrounding the sponsorship of the National Volleyball Scout League and the national beach football team, which, due to the care of “Razvitie”, jumped last season with 17 seats in the rankings.
