His arrival on the field is a special moment where he will have the opportunity to personally inspire the future champions, passing on a part of his experience and spirit. In a gesture of appreciation for his fans' loyalty, the legend has also planned a special surprise for everyone who attends the event. Every attendee will receive a copy of the book "Hristo Stoichkov. The Story", provided by TriA City Centre, which will be accompanied by a personal autograph from Stoichkov and a photo opportunity for a memento.

"It's an honor for us to host a tournament that brings so much joy to children and gathers thousands in the square in Burgas."

This is how significant the event is for the city, according to Veselin Harizanov, manager of TriA City Centre Burgas, who told the media: "It's an honor for us to host a tournament that brings so much joy to children and gathers thousands in the square in Burgas.". He emphasized that the interest in the event and Stoichkov himself is enormous.

"In the previous two years, Hristo Stoichkov's presence attracted over 5,000 people - fans, parents, and children who wanted to see him, get an autograph, and take a picture with him. In the last few months alone, we have received dozens of letters and inquiries asking if the Legend will be in Burgas again. This shows how special this meeting is for the city."
