Lokomotiv Plovdiv management protests

Overview

Internal dissatisfaction with the management of the Bulgarian football club Lokomotiv Plovdiv has escalated from former players to organized supporter groups.

Club legends Martin Kamburov and Dimitar Iliev initially voiced concerns regarding the club’s decline in the Bulgarian First League. Kamburov criticized the leadership under President Hristo Krusharski, noting that despite some successes since 2017, no fundamental changes have been implemented. Iliev has notably refrained from attending home matches following his retirement.

Following these criticisms, Lokomotiv Plovdiv supporters announced formal protest actions demanding Krusharski’s removal. Fans planned to leave the ‘Besika’ stand empty during a match against Cherno More, instead congregating at the ‘Sportklub’ stand to demonstrate their dissatisfaction. The supporters also initiated an official survey to determine further protest steps.
