Traditionally, at the end of the football championships, Ludogorets pays well-deserved attention to the talented and proven juniors. And this year, the team from Razgrad awarded the distinguished players, and the celebrations were even more emotionally saturated. The young people's trepidation was combined with the euphoria surrounding the match of the representative team of Ludogorets with Lokomotiv (Plovdiv) and the subsequent ceremonial awarding of the 13th consecutive golden champions of Bulgaria.

The presentation of the awards to the best performing players from the Academy in the 2023/2024 season took place at half-time to the thunderous applause of the fans at the Huvepharma Arena.

The title of "Best goalkeeper" was awarded to the national player Plamen Penev from the 2008 selection. The chairman of the board of directors of the club, Temenuga Gazdova, personally presented him with the award.

The best defender was Viktor Ivanov from the 2009 selection. He is also a national competitor and was awarded by the technical director and legendary defender of Ludogorets Cosmin Moti.

16-year-old Elisey Sarov, who competes for both the Ludogorets U17 team and the young Lions in the national team, was chosen as the best midfielder. He was awarded by the director of the Academy, Radoslav Komitov.

Maxim Minkov from the 2008 team, who also defends the name of Bulgaria with the national jersey, was awarded as the best striker. The prize was presented to him by the Ghanaian ace of the Eagles, Bernard Tekpetey.

Filip Gigov from U17 and Dimitar Mrankov from U16 were awarded as the best goal scorers. Both play for their respective ages in the country's national team. Sports director of Ludogorets Georgi Karamandzukov and executive director Angel Petrichev presented the awards to them, respectively.

The forward of Ludogorets U14 and national team Georgi Denchev was selected as the most promising player. He was awarded by the chief scout of the Academy - Valentin Stanchev.

The award for most valuable player went to Georgi Penev from Ludogorets U17. He received it from the president of the club Alexander Alexandrov.
