The Lions also visited the city hall and met with the Mayor of Plovdiv Ivan Totev, as well as with many more of their fans from Bulgaria’s second largest city.
Coach Plamen Konstantinov’s players were wearing shirts with the logo of the 2015 CEV Volleyball European Championship – Men, whose Final Round will be hosted in Bulgaria and Italy from October 9 through 18, and the sign of the I CAN TOO Foundation, which is behind the future centre for children with autism in Plovdiv that will feature a specially equipped sensor room financed entirely by money from the EuroVolley 2015 ticket proceeds and more specifically from the matches to be played in Sofia and Varna.
