Sofia Bears vs Bucharest Warriors, 9 May 2010, NSA
On Sunday 9 May 2010 at 13:00 the Sofia Bears (formerly Team Sofia) host the Bucharest Warriors at the NSA in the fourth meeting of the two teams.
This is just a small part of the surprises awaiting American football fans in Bulgaria on Sunday 9 May. From 13:00, the American football team Sofia Bears (formerly Team Sofia) will host the Romanian team Bucharest Warriors. This is the 4th clash between the two teams. As always, both teams will take the field highly motivated to defend the honour of their countries and to prevail in this fiercely contested clash. So far the Romanian team leads by 2 wins to 1, but the Sofia Bears players will fight tooth and nail to level the score.
The Bulgarian team underwent a number of changes during the winter break. The team’s long-serving coach Hristo Gyurkovski has left. Defensive coach Jason George was appointed as the new head coach, with Nikolay Angelov, Ivo Ikonomov and Bozhidar Prodanov as assistants. The coaching staff thus formed has taken the team through 2 months of extremely tough training, and the current squad is fully ready for the start of the competitive season.
The team has also changed its name from Team Sofia to Sofia Bears.
