Levski to vie for Golden Set in front of home crowd
News
Levski SOFIA – the men’s national champions of Bulgaria for the last three consecutive seasons – began their CEV Champions League campaign this season against Mladost ZAGREB. The Bulgarian team lost the first match last week in Croatia’s capital city and will be hoping to secure a victory and a Golden Set in Sofia, in front of their home crowd to stay in contention for a spot in Round 3.
Two seasons ago, Levski qualified directly for the group stage, which proved to be a valuable experience for the club’s young players. Investing in young talent and developing Bulgarian players is a key part of the club’s philosophy and long-term commitment. As a result, there are no foreign players in this season’s roster. The team consists mainly of players from Levski’s youth academy, supported by several experienced ones, including captain Todor Skrimov.
An interesting addition to the squad is opposite hitter Kristian Titriyski, who has returned after two years in the US college league NCAA, where he won a championship title with the University of Hawaii.
Nikolay Zhelyazkov“In the return match, it will be very important for the entire team to perform at an excellent level. We believe that Skrimov will be ready after missing the first match, but we cannot rely on him alone. Everyone needs to perform well.”
