PFC Levski joins EFDN
EFDN is delighted to welcome PFC Levski as a new EFDN member. The Bulgarian first division club is committed to groups in need in the local area in Sofia and through the cooperation with other clubs in EFDN, they want to further develop their community outreach programmes and CSR strategy of the club.
PFC Levski is a professional football club, which plays its games in the First League, the top division of Bulgarian football. Without even having a real football to play with, a group of boys from the Todor Minkov Metropolitan School of Sofia started the club in 1911 with a lot of enthusiasm and perseverance. The 26-time Bulgarian Champion found its name in the Bulgarian revolutionary and national hero Vasil Levski. The ”Apostle of Freedom” was seen as a model of courage, agility and heroism, of endless love for the people and readiness for sacrifice in the name of the people.
Levski has participated in more seasons of the Bulgarian football championship than any other team and is the only Bulgarian team who has never been relegated. On an international basis, Levski has reached three European Cup Winners’ Cup quarterfinals and two UEFA Cup quarterfinals. In 2006, they became the first Bulgarian club to reach the group stages of the UEFA Champions League.

Following its social commitment and participation in projects encouraging children to play sports, PFC Levski works together with the Rainbow Association, supporting children with diabetes. Levski and the association work together on the social programme for the prevention and treatment of insulin-dependent children with TYPE 1 diabetes by promoting the problems of children with the disease and providing opportunities for active sporting activities.
