One of the fiercest derby’s in Europe with a rivalry dating back to the late 1940s. The two biggest clubs of Sofia, the two most succesful clubs in Bulgarian history. Played in the Vasil Levski Stadium, because the hardcore fans of both sides demolish each other stadiums. The Eternal Derby of Bulgaria is definitely one to visit! Coming weekend the 193rd derby will be played.
In March 2017 I was part of this derby. An impression:
Passionate about football. Loves the game, especially al that happens around the pitch. Prefers to attend matches between the fanatics, the ultras, to experience football how it should be and if possible capture the passion on pictures telling the story. Crazy about authentic football culture, old stadiums and has a soft spot for the Balkans. Travels all around Europe and has been named "derby specialist" bij Panenka Magazine.
