Not only Bulgaria is expecting eagerly the qualifications for the worlds against Italy. The whole world has gone crazy about this match, if judged by the requests. 408 journalists from 17 countries have asked for accreditation for the battle of the ‘lions’ with the world champion.

‘This kind of interest in the qualifications is a record so war for Bulgarian football. This has never happened before. Clearly, the world is interested what the world champion will do in Sofia’, said Borislav Konstantinov, who spoke for the Bulgarian football head office.
