The Bulgarian national team U19 starts its qualifications for the European Championship in the Czech Republic in 2027 today.
Atanas Ribarski's team faces England at 13:00 Bulgarian time, with the match to be held in Croatia.
Bulgaria is in Group 5 of League "A" in the first round of the qualifiers, with the other two teams in the group being Spain and Croatia.
The first three teams continue to the second round of League "A" of the competition, and the fourth will go to League "B", which preserves their chances of qualifying, but under more complicated circumstances. The qualifiers conclude with a third round, where the winners of the seven groups qualify for the European Championship.
