For the first 300 fans who visit Troykata Square, TriA City Centre and Hristo Stoichkov have prepared special gifts, and everyone interested will be able to get a personal autograph and a photo with the legendary number 8. Meeting the fans is a key part of the event that traditionally attracts significant interest — proof of this was last year's edition in 2025, when "The Dagger" (Kamata) met with hundreds of people and six local football clubs participated in the tournament. Currently, Stoichkov balances these commitments with his work on a FIFA project aimed at bringing football back to schools and supporting teams in developing countries.

On September 11, 2026, at 11:00 AM, the center of Burgas will turn into a football pitch where 60 children will compete in the "Hristo Stoichkov - The Road to the Stars" tournament. This marks the superstar's fourth consecutive return to the city, and the event has already been officially included in the Burgas Municipality's sports calendar for September. The organization is handled by TriA City Centre with the support of the municipality, and prizes from the sports brand EA7 have been provided for all participants. While competitive matches unfold on the pitch, Stoichkov will be right alongside the young footballers on a day dedicated to ambition, sports, and a love for the game.

The official awards ceremony, which will mark the end of the sports celebration, is scheduled for 3:00 PM. In parallel with the football excitement, the sports community is also following other thrilling achievements:
