“Botev Plovdiv” football club is organizing a charity ball today, at which it will celebrate the 113th anniversary of the founding of the professional football club.

The funds raised will support two campaigns – for the construction of a monument to the legendary football player Dinko Dermendzhiev-Chiko and for the purchase of modern medical equipment for the Pediatric Surgery Clinic at the Saint George University Multi-profile Hospital for Active Treatment.

According to the organizers, the culmination of the celebration will be the participation in the “yellow-black” celebration of the star of Bulgarian music Orlin Pavlov. During the event, a charity auction will also be held, at which all Botev fans will be able to bid for items related to the history and present of “Botev Plovdiv”.
