Bulgaria have gone from ranking eighth in the world and reaching the semi-finals of a World Cup in the 1990s to now finding themselves ranked 81st in the world, without a win in the entirety of 2023, and having failed to qualify for a tournament since Euro 2004.
It is an extraordinary demise, caused by an incredibly corrupt football association led by former national team legends, football clubs owned by mafia bosses, and politicians who have either turned a blind eye or been in on the act themselves.
In this documentary, HITC Sevens takes a closer look at the nefarious influence upon Bulgarian football, the catastrophic downfall of Bulgaria's national team, and what might be next for a once proud football nation.
