The tournament is now being held for the second year running. The games were full of emotion, but most importantly, all the participants played with enthusiasm and enjoyed themselves.

This was Team Sofia’s first sporting event of the season. Having changed its coach in March and renamed itself “Team Sofia – Bears”, the team is now ready for new challenges. For a month now the lads have been training hard for their first official game in full kit, which will be on 9 May against the Bucharest Warriors, and the Sofia team has a score to settle for the defeat inflicted on them in Bucharest in the autumn.

The team is negotiating 3 more friendly games before the summer. In between the games, the long-awaited first American flag football championship in Sofia will also take place.
