The president of our football headquarters Georgi Ivanov revealed that 9 clubs from the efbet League are in danger of not getting a license for the new season, as well as 5-6 from the Second League. “Mach Telegraf“ published which are the elite teams. We are talking about:
Krumovgrad – owes insurance on salaries and taxes – nearly 1 million leva. Recently, one of the club's bosses admitted that Krumovgrad exists only because of the money from TV rights and the “Solidarity“ fund. There is a FIFA ban on new players.
Botev (Plovdiv) – owes money to players and coaches. There are serious debts to the Municipality of Plovdiv, including rent for the “College“. The “Canaries“ are banned by FIFA from registering new players.
Hebar – owes amounts for salaries of players and coaches who are no longer with the club.
Spartak (Varna) – Varna players also owe money for salaries to players and coaches.
Beroe – complete fog reigns around the financing of the transfers. The owner Banato relies solely on player sales, but there are none. With the exception of Sebastian Villa. FIFA banned transfers to Beroe.
Lokomotiv (Plovdiv) – also with unclear financing. Recently, Hristo Krusharski admitted that he is the only one pouring money in, despite the request for new sponsors.
Arda – the club from Kardzhali, which is having its strongest season, has considerable problems. The latter is related to the Water and Sewerage Authority, which sentenced it for over 20,000 leva for unpaid water. It also owes over 100,000 leva to the National Revenue Agency.
Botev (Vratsa) – the club is municipal and the money for salaries comes from the Vratsa budget. However, there are many foreigners in Botev, with considerable salaries and this creates difficulties in financing.
Lokomotiv (Sofia) – the team from “Nadezhda“ has old debts accumulated over the years. The new management is obviously doing everything to return the team to the big game. In fact, Loko is the team with the best chance of retaining its license for next season.
