This is a strategic partnership, we signed a three-year contract until 2028. Thank you for efbet’s support for the development of Bulgarian football! This is the largest commercial contract that the Football Union has signed in the last ten years – football is made with money, as clichéd as it may sound. The contract is subject to confidentiality, but it is the largest in the last ten years, as I have already said,” said Petrov.
