Bulgarian football: Levski Sofia and CSKA 1948 lead league action

Bulgarian football activity remains high as clubs compete in the First League and prepare for European qualifiers. Levski Sofia, the current league leaders, are maintaining stability. The club has decided not to consider selling goalkeeper Svetoslav Vutsov during the current period despite interest from English side Wolverhampton and French club Rennes. The club views his value at approximately 3 million euros and prefers to keep the squad intact for their upcoming Conference League campaign, with potential transfer talks deferred until the winter of 2027.

CSKA 1948 secured a 3-1 away victory against Lokomotiv Sofia, moving to second place in the standings with 10 points. Manager Alexander Alexandrov utilized a full squad rotation of 11 changes to prepare for their upcoming UEFA Conference League rematch against Panathinaikos. Goals from Elias Franco, Frederick Massiel (2), and a late strike helped solidify the win.

In other league action, Arda Kardzhali defeated Dunav Ruse 2-0, leaving Dunav at the bottom of the table without a point. The match was marked by an early injury to Dunav's Georgi Kitanov.
