Great video! I just wanted to clarify one thing. The Rakovski stadium isn't and was never used by FC Sevlievo since that team is from a different town, which is named, you guessed it - Sevlievo. The confusion probably comes from the fact that the previous team in Sevlievo was called Vidima Rakovski and that there's a stadium with the same name in Sevlievo. As far as I know, the Rakovski stadium in Sofia hasn't been used for football games for a long time. Nowadays, people usually use it for jogging and doing basic football training exercises on the pitch.
I’m actually in Sofia right now and was at the CSKA & national stadiums as they’re 200meters apart, also went & got my ticket for CSKA Levs,I on Sunday, just 10 BGN, that’s around £4 or $6, so, s cheap. ✊
do you live there or just visiting? Is it a good lifestyle there? Its on my list of places to consider, I find life in North America getting a little weird and often consider moving.
@@neilwhitaker6284- I’m a tourist, I love it here, kind people, great history, brilliant architecture, great food, and very cheap, money goes a long way here for sure ✊
@@PaddyDoc Right on! I will keep it mind for sure its on my top places to visit, just based on gut feeling and things people have said. Thank you for your response.
There's also Stadion Septemvri (September Stadium), that used to host Septemvri Sofia's games. It's completely abandoned and its condition is way worse than even Stadion Rakovski. The stands are not unusable at all with them being covered in trees and bushes and the field is covered in grass that hasn't been mowed in years. The only thing that is still "kind of" usable is the track, because I have seen people go jogging there
Love seeing the stadiums in my home country get some love. Although the best one ain't in Sofia if we're being honest. You gotta go to Razgrad's Ludogorets Arena for that.
"the city with a girls name" haha still chuckling at that. I don't have a favourite of these they all need some work and upgrades/renovations. The city itself looks cool, lots of trees and parks. Anybody here from Bulgaria is a good lifestyle there? Do any Western Europeans or North Americans move there and do OK? I like the Cathedral at the beginning, that one is my favourite!
It's very good for visiting or making a casual trip but Sofia is awful for living. Lived there for 6 years and left because the city is too expensive for what it offers.
Many people in the countryside are in Sofia, because the city is big and it has everything, like many professions and good universities. It is an expensive city with many people. I live in it and I like it a lot.
@@Kocaka123 I had been thinking it would be a great place to come visit for a few years. Not many people in Canada know much about it so I felt like I'd be going somewhere unique for us. Also I'm Orthodox Christian and I'd like to see some of your old Churches! Thank you for your response.
Universiada hall is used for multiple things like concerts, small basketball and volleyball games and funnily enough for counting the ballots after some votes. Stadion Rakovski is now used by the sports school of FC Levski. The stadium itself if barely used and is publicly accessable most of the time. However there are some other training playgrounds next to the stadium like some covered tennis courts and some open air football fields. I live 500 meters away from the stadium and have never seen a game played there but have seen some firefighters training. The last hall I want to add is "zala Triaditza" (Triaditsa was the Roman name of Sofia). It's another multipurpose sports hall that is used for everything from end of year school concerts to basketball and volleyball games. If any info is needed for Sofia or Bulgaria feel free to contact me somehow. I will try to help as best as I can.
There are plenty more stadiums and arenas in Sofia :) Like Stadium Septemvri (September) Siconco Hall (Zala Sikonko), Hall Triaditsa (Zala Triaditsa) and more. The list can on and on, but the quality of most of them is extremely poor. Some of the halls lack heating and have holes in the walls and/or ceiling and practicing volleyball at winter does build up the character. Stadium Rakovski is also used by PFC Levski Sofia'a academy, some of the young players train there.
You have a very poor mistake. Balgarska Armia is the Stadium of CSKA-Sofia, not CSKA Sofia. The second entity is a different club which has been inactive since 2016.
CSKA's stadium has been demolished, and in just 2-3 months the new stadium is gonna start construction. In 2026, Bulgaria will have its first modern European football stadium, fans deserve this.
@@tsetso99 само дето няма нищо общо братле. Погледни начинът на строене, козирката е различна, самите трибуни ще са сглобяеми, не цимент, единствения сектор, който е от цимент е сектор А, въобще по-модерен и по-хубав ще бъде. На Ботев стадиона е страхотен, не ме разбирай погрешно, но вече и той започва да си остарява. Както казах, преди 10-15 години щеше да е бижу, сега е обикновен стадион.
Thanks for these videos. So many stadiums straight out of the communist era... Stadion Lokomotiv may be the best one. Some new but not too big stadiums are needed imo.
Great vid! Can I suggest a video idea for the stadiums of Brussels? I think there's a lot of unique grounds to see there!

I'm now filled with the overwhelming urge to visit Universiada Hall, just to see what it smells like.

There is already a modern stadium in Plovdiv.
@@tsetso99 i would say modern to it in 2010, not 2024.
