Burgas football fans will have a unique opportunity to meet one of the brightest stars in Bulgarian sports – Bozhidar Iskrenov, known as Gibona. On August 30, on Saturday evening, at 6:00 PM in the hall of the Cultural Center of NHK, an extremely anticipated event supported by the Burgas Municipality will take place.

The central moment of the meeting will be the presentation of the autobiographical book "Without Shoes", which reveals details from the rich sports biography of the football legend. Iskrenov will personally share exciting stories from his 16-year career, which many consider a golden period in Bulgarian football history.

Born on August 1, 1962, in Sofia, Bozhidar Iskrenov has played remarkable matches for numerous Bulgarian teams, including Levski, CSKA, Botev Plovdiv, and Shumen. His international career includes a stint with Spanish Zaragoza and Swiss Lausanne.

Statistics speak eloquently about his achievements: 56 matches and 5 goals for the national team, three Bulgarian championships (1984, 1985, 1988), and four national cups (1982, 1984, 1986, 1993). The nickname "Joy of the People" is not accidental – it reflects the footballer's exceptional popularity.

During the event, fans will be able to take photos with him, get an autograph, and purchase the book. Special guests will be co-author Vasil Kolev, financier Kiril Evtimov, and other local football legends.

The meeting promises to be an unforgettable experience for all football fans who want to hear authentic first-person stories about one of the most beloved Bulgarian athletes.
