Akademik Plovdiv to continue playing in Delasport Balkan League

The runner-up from the last edition of Delasport Balkan League - Akademik Plovdiv, will continue to play in the competition, announced from the club.

Last season the team had its best ever in the history after reaching the final in Delasport Balkan League and then took the bronze medals in the Bulgarian championship.

"I'm excited for our participation in Delasport Balkan League. This is a competition that gets stronger with each year and the Israeli teams participation is raising the level which was seen also last season. The partnership between the management of the league and the main sponsor Delasport is working great and that is also helping the other teams develop. I'm eager for the matches of the competition to start. I'm hoping that we'll have another decent season" is what the head coach Yordan Yankov had to say. The team announced also that it will take part in the Qualifying rounds of FIBA Europe Cup.

The management of Delasport Balkan League will now expect the official application by Akademik Plovdiv and the confirmation from the Bulgarian basketball federation in order to register the club officially for season 2021/2022.
