Burgas Aims to Host Elite Volleyball in 2027

The Burgas Municipal Council has officially approved Mayor Dimitar Nikolov's proposal for the city to bid as a host for a tournament from the men's Volleyball Nations League in 2027.

The success of the 2025 event proved that Burgas possesses the capacity to organize large-scale world-class sports forums.

Why is Burgas the ideal destination?

  • Economic growth: The previous tournament brought nearly 4 million euros in direct revenue to the region.
  • Tourism: Over 18,000 overnight stays were realized, with 80% of spectators being guests of the city.
  • Global popularity: A television audience of over 9 million viewers worldwide.

The municipality has allocated a budget of 420,000 euros to cover logistical costs, including accommodation, transport, and catering. By potentially hosting, Burgas will solidify its status as a leading sports and tourist destination in Bulgaria.
