Levski Sofia prepares for Champions League second leg vs Universitatea Craiova
Levski Sofia travel to Romania for the second‑leg of the UEFA Champions League second‑preliminary round against Universitatea Craiova on 29 July 2026 at 20:30, playing at the Ion Oblemenco stadium. The Bulgarian side won the first leg 1‑0 in Sofia and aims to protect that advantage.
Levski will arrive by charter flight on 28 July but will be without its supporters because UEFA sanctions barred fan attendance after racist incidents in the first‑leg match. Coach Julio Velazquez warned the team not to be misled by the first‑leg win and noted injuries to Radislav Kirilov, Vulikich and Camdem. Executive director Daniel Borimirov echoed the warning, stressing compliance with UEFA regulations, and said the transfer window remains open until September with no offers on any players.
The match will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 1 and Prima Sport 1. Former Universitatea champion Vasile Mogoș returned to the Craiova camp to encourage his old teammates ahead of the decisive game.
