Today, in front of the Summer Stage "Kino & Bar Cabana" next to the National Palace of Culture, the impressive photo exhibition "Bulgarian Volleyball Pride" was officially opened, dedicated to our national volleyball team – world vice-champions from the championship in the Philippines 2025.
The organizers of the event are Sofia Municipality, "Sofia – European Capital of Sport" Foundation, and "StartFoto" Agency, with the support of sports photographers Bonchuk Andonov, Kostadin Andonov, and Diogo Oliveira.
🌟 Moments that will last forever
The photo exhibition brings together the most powerful shots from the unforgettable journey of the Bulgarian national team to world silver – those shots in which the whole nation "breathed, believed, and dreamed together".
Each photo bears the imprint of the passion and dedication of the volleyball players, as well as the people behind them
– coaches, staff, fans. Moments that radiate strength, spirit, and faith. Moments that turned a silver medal into a golden emotion for the nation.
📍 Location: Sofia, in front of the National Palace of Culture
– Summer Stage "Kino & Bar Cabana", the entrance alley from "Patriarch Evtimiy" Blvd.
🗓️ Period: November 1
– 14, 2025
Visitors can immerse themselves in the emotions of unforgettable victories, in the smiles and tears of happiness, in those moments when all of Bulgaria believed that the revival of our volleyball was a fact.
💬 Symbol of Gratitude and Inspiration
"Bulgarian Volleyball Pride" is not just an exhibition – it is a sign of gratitude to the national team players who, in September 2025, wrote a new page in our sports history.
Their feat in the Philippines was an emotional explosion that united people from different generations, cities, and professions.
Gianlorenzo Blengini's team returned to Bulgaria the feeling of a common cause and pride
– that which is expressed with the simple yet powerful words: "Bulgarians, heroes!"
🏐 A Look Beyond the Medals
The exhibition reminds us that success is not only in the result, but in the journey where character is forged – in every saved ball in defense, in every game battle, in the collective spirit that turned our boys into a symbol of a new beginning for Bulgarian volleyball.
📅 The photo exhibition will be accessible until November 14, with free admission for all fans of sport and art.
This is an invitation not just to see, but to remember and feel again the pride that these photos preserve
– the silver that still shines like gold today.
