The Ivan Doctorov Tournament for cadets will be held in Sofia

June 05

From July 11th to 13th, the capital of the Republic of Bulgaria will once again become a magnet for young sambists. The annual Ivan Doctorov Tournament for cadets (athletes aged 14-16) will be held in Sofia during these days.

Each year, the competition gains momentum and acquires an increasingly significant status on the international calendar. The tournament has already become a landmark event for many national federations, offering cadets a unique opportunity to test their skills against a high level of international competition and gain invaluable competitive experience.

The tournament’s organizing committee strives to make participation as accessible as possible for teams from around the world. Important news for all delegations was the organizers’ decision to allocate a special quota for free accommodation.

“We understand how important support is for the development of young athletes, and we are pleased to offer special conditions for teams planning to join us in July,” the organizers note. “The Ivan Doctorov Tournament is more than just a sport; it’s a platform for friendship and cultural exchange in the heart of the Balkans.”

Picturesque Sofia is expected to host a record number of participants this year. Details on registration, accommodation quota requirements, and the competition program are available on our official website at this link:
