Vladi Garkov against Vlado Nikolov's former club in the French Cup quarter-finals

The French Cup offers another spectacular clash with a Bulgarian accent! After Tours eliminated Veny Antov's Tourcoing in the 1/8-finals, Vlad Garkov's team will face the French champion on December 16 in Grenon. This means one thing – Garkov will play against the iconic former club of Vlado Nikolov, where the legend left a huge mark.

This will be the second clash with Tours for Saint-Nazaire within a few weeks, after they will meet the champions tomorrow, but this time for the league.

Before Saint-Nazaire's duel with Tours for the French Cup, the 'Blues' have another important test – on December 2 in the 'Coubertin' hall against Nice.
The draw determined Tours to meet Tourcoing once again, before they measure strength with Vlad Garkov and company for the French Cup on December 16. This will happen on December 2, when Veny Antov's teammates will host the champions at home in a match from Marmara Spike Ligue.
