Bulgarian Football Union (BFU) Technical Director Kiril Kotev outlined his expectations for Bulgaria’s final two matches in the 2026 UEFA Nations League campaign in an interview with the Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) on Wednesday. Bulgaria will host Iceland in Plovdiv on November 13 before travelling to Tallinn to face Estonia on November 16.
“First of all, I would like to express my deepest condolences to the relatives and families of the victims of yesterday’s terrible tragedy on the Trakia Motorway, and wish a speedy and full recovery to all those injured. As for the upcoming Nations League matches, we want to build on the positive momentum following our victory over Luxembourg and finish the campaign in the best possible way,” Kotev said.
He also commented on the inclusion of several young players in head coach Atanas Ribarski’s squad. Four players who represented Bulgaria’s U21 national team last month have now been called up to the senior side, having all been part of the team’s victory over Portugal U21.
“I hope they will show their potential in the upcoming two matches of the senior national team,” Kotev added.
The Bulgarian team currently has four points and sits behind Estonia, which is second with a two-point advantage, and group leader Iceland, which is four points ahead of the Bulgarians. The national team needs to win both remaining matches to maintain its hopes of finishing top of the group, although even maximum points may not be enough to secure first place.
