Georgi Asparuhov Stadium (Sofia)


Georgi Asparuhov is the stadium of the Bulgarian football club PFC Levski Sofia. It was built in the period 1960-1963 mostly with donations by the supporters, and initially had a capacity of 36,000 seats plus an unknown standing capacity. Record attendance is 60,000 people, achieved several times: on the 4th of March, 1970 against the Polish team of Górnik Zabrze in a Cup Winners Cup 1/4 final. Same attandance has been achieved in a championship game against PFC Pirin Blagoevgrad, which is the unofficial record attandance for the Bulgarian championship. However after modern seating was installed and terraces removed in 1999 the capacity has been reduced to 29,800 seats. It was officially inaugurated on 10th March 1963.
