Football Drama in Pomorie: OFC Pomorie is a Step Away from Success

On May 17, 2026, the stadium in Pomorie became the arena for an exciting clash in the "A" Regional Group. The league leader, OFC "Pomorie," hosted the second-placed team, "Burgas Sport," in a match that could have decided the fate of the title.

"The Pomorie Seagulls showed character and tactical discipline, maintaining the top spot ahead of the decisive play-offs."

Match Progression

The first half was marked by cautious play from both teams. The decisive moment came after a foul in the visitors' penalty area, which allowed the experienced Zhivko Iliev to open the scoring from a penalty kick, making it 1-0. Despite the confident performance of the hosts, an error in midfield in the 70th minute allowed "Burgas Sport" to equalize for a final score of 1-1.

The Road to the Third League

This result was more than enough for OFC "Pomorie" to maintain its lead before the final round. Now, the toughest challenge lies ahead – the play-offs for promotion to the Third League. The challenge is serious:

  • Competition from the regions of Yambol, Sliven, Stara Zagora, Plovdiv, Kardzhali, and Haskovo.
  • New format: only one team earns the right to promotion.
  • Elimination system: necessity of three consecutive victories on neutral ground.

The whole city is behind the "Seagulls" in their quest to climb the football hierarchy.
