Players from the Children's and Youth School of Ludogorets were awarded by the Bulgarian Football Union for their high sports achievements. The footballers deserved special attention at an official ceremony, in which the President of the Union, Georgi Ivanov, handed out the awards.
The awards went to the best performing footballers in the past 2023/2024 season in the Elite youth groups U15, U16 and U17. The sets of Ludogorets secured first place in all three championships.
Two of Milen Marinov's players made their coach proud once again, after lifting the trophy in the Under-15 Elite at the beginning of June. Alexander Panayotov deserved the award for the best goalkeeper, and Nikolay Popov became the winner of the award for the best midfielder.
For the older U16 players, who were led by Rosen Marinov last season, Plamen Penev was awarded the best goalkeeper, Kaloyan Bozhkov was named the best midfielder and Maxim Minkov deserved the top scorer award.
Among the players who until recently competed in Elite under 17 under the mentorship of Martin Tsirkov, individual awards went to Valentin Valentinov as the best goalkeeper and Elisey Sarov as the best midfielder. Filip Gigov was even awarded in two categories - for the best striker and for the top scorer of the season.
