Bulgarian Football Union President Georgi Ivanov participated in a legends game tournament organized by FIFA in Vancouver, Canada, preceding the 76th Congress of the organization. Ivanov was a member of the European football governing body’s team, which featured several prominent figures in world soccer, including David Trezeguet, Andriy Shevchenko, Goran Pandev, Davor Suker, and Michel Salgado. The UEFA team advanced to the semifinals but was ultimately defeated by the Canadian squad, which included Hristo Stoichkov and Demetrio Albertini.
The event served as a gathering of iconic figures from the world of football. On the day before the FIFA Congress, the official delegation from the Bulgarian Football Union, led by Ivanov and accompanied by Deputy Executive Directors Iveta Bankova and Dobrin Gyonov, attended a working meeting for UEFA member associations. This meeting addressed key topics scheduled for the upcoming Congress, alongside critical issues pertaining to the development of both European and world football.
The participation of Ivanov in these preparatory discussions highlighted the focus on organizational matters ahead of the major global event. The tournament itself provided a celebrated platform for football legends to convene.
