The Bulgarian Football Union (BFU), at the official request of CSKA and after full coordination with the Bulgarian Professional Football League (BPFL) and the television station holding the broadcasting rights, made key changes to the program for the upcoming 14th round of the First League.
The changes affect a total of four matches from the round, the main reason being the historic return of the "army players" to their completely new and modern stadium "Bulgarian Army". The Sofia derby between CSKA and Slavia is officially set for Saturday, October 31, at 7:30 p.m.
In order to accommodate the television broadcast and the organization of security for the opening of the facility in Borisova Gradina, the BFU's STK changed the starting times and days of three more key clashes:
Dunav – Levski: Change in the program for the "blues" away game in Ruse.
Lokomotiv Plovdiv – Botev Plovdiv: Adjustment in time for the big Plovdiv derby.
Lokomotiv Sofia – Ludogorets: New starting date/time for the home game of the „railwaymen“ against the champions.
Here is the entire decision of the STK to the BFU:
