Volleyball once again proves that it is much more than a sport. VC Sliven is organizing a charity auction in support of former volleyball player Mincho Minchev, who needs funds for recovery and care after a severe accident last year.
Mincho is a former player for Marek, Sliven, and the Bulgarian youth national team. After the incident in 2025, his life changed dramatically, and people from the volleyball community in Sliven continue to look for ways to help him.
At the end of last year, the club organized a charity match, and now it continues its efforts with a new initiative that unites current and former volleyball players.
Among the players who have provided their jerseys for the charity auction are Tsvetan Sokolov, Valentin Bratoev, and Ivan Stanev.Other representatives of the volleyball community are joining them, and the organizers continue to add new items.
The idea is both simple and noble – volleyball fans get the opportunity to own a jersey of their favorite player, while the proceeds from the purchase help a person who himself has dedicated years of his life to the game.
How can you participate?
The charity auction continues until November 30, 2026.
Bidding takes place under the photos of the individual items, published by VC Sliven. Participants state their offers in the comments, and the highest bid for the respective jersey wins the auction.
All collected funds will be provided for the recovery and care of Mincho Minchev.
Let's show the strength of the volleyball family!
Bulgarian volleyball has repeatedly proven that its greatest strength lies in its people – players, coaches, managers, and supporters who stand by each other not only after victories but also in difficult times.
Now, one of the people who has been part of this family needs support.
We call on all our readers and friends of volleyball to join the initiative of VC Sliven.Even if you are unable to participate in the bidding, sharing the information is also a help. The more people learn about the auction, the greater the chance that more funds will be raised.
Let's help Mincho together in his most important match – the one for his recovery.
Because the volleyball family does not abandon its own!
