Over the past four days, young footballers from eight academies—champions in their respective countries—faced off in competitive matches. The final placement matches were played today, determining the overall standings. At the top stood the talented team of Dinamo (Tbilisi), followed by Partizan (Serbia) in second place. Ludogorets (Bulgaria) claimed the bronze after securing third place ahead of their peers from PAOK (Greece). Benfica (Portugal) and Fenerbahce (Turkyie) finished in fifth and sixth place respectively, while Odil Akhmedov Academy (Uzbekistan) and FCSB (Romania) shared the last two positions.
The trophies, medals, and commemorative statuettes were presented personally by Dincher Kyrov, Chairman of the Regional Council of The Bulgarian Football Union in Razgrad; Georgi Karamandzhukov, Sporting Director of PFC Ludogorets; Cosmin Moti, the club’s Technical Director; Radoslav Komitov, Director of the Ludogorets Academy; and Rumyana Krasteva, representative of the main sponsor Vivacom.
Before bidding each other farewell, the young football talents once again had the opportunity to capture memorable moments at “Huvepharma Arena” alongside the mascot of the 14-time Bulgarian champions—Fortuna the eagle.
