By the end of 2017 the new Sports Act can be passed by the National Assembly, Minister of Youth and Sport Krasen Kralev said while in Varna.

Minister Kralev said that the new rules of the Act could be enforced from 1 January 2018:

“The most important point is that a process for building sport infrastructure has started and private capital is attracted. This is a priority. We plan to attract private capital to the public sport sector and sports facilities will be leased for longer periods – up to 30 years because investment in sport has a very slow return rate. I think this will be a revolutionary change that I will do my best to defend in parliament.”
