Kronos December Cup

A December tournament in Plovdiv, where teams meet leading Bulgarian clubs and academies from Romania, England, North Macedonia and Serbia. First organised in 2016, the Kronos Cup has become a favourite of many well-known Bulgarian academies.

A group phase sends the top two of each group to the final stage; the other teams keep playing for their place in the overall ranking. Cups and medals go to the first three teams, with individual awards for standout players in each line.

Plovdiv, one of Europe's oldest cities, offers a Roman stadium and theatre, the Kapana creative quarter and the painted houses of the Old Town.
