Although ithe exact date has yet to be decided Bulgaria will meet England (in Sofia ?) and no doubt this will be of great interest to many of the local football fans in both Sunny B and GS. They do love their footy do the Bulgarians. It wont be until at least Sept/Oct at the earliest though....could even be into next year 2011.

However, the FIFA World Cup from South Africa is also being shown 'live' this coming summer (June 11th onwards for about a month) many of the local bars will be keen to attract football fans from all over the main resorts to increase their business. This was evident in during June/July 2006 when we were in GS and stayed at The Bonita. A great party atmosphere was clearly being had by all. Not all the bars showed the games so those wanting to avoid all the excitement were equally well catered for...I saw and heard of no problems at the time we were there, and although there was one major incident which was finally concluded late last year, the vast majority of tourists had a great time and our Bulgarian hosts did us proud.

Where ever you go home or abroad this summer the World Cup will be shown in some bar or another so just take care and avoid the obvious....
