The Ludogorets midfielder Yankov was awarded as the best midfielder among all players who took part in the Antalya tournament. Bulgaria lost 1:5 to Northern Macedonia but won the first two matches, thus qualifying second in the tournament. Yankov received his prize after the tournament ended.
BFU’s official press release stated that Bulgaria U21 nearly won Antalya Cup 2021 but the final match did not allow that.
