In recent years, Campionia has established itself as a leading platform for monitoring and reflecting on the development of football in Bulgaria. We are known for our various initiatives, including webinars, seminars, camps, and a widely read football blog.

Recently, we had the opportunity to visit the football academy of FC Köln in Germany, facilitated by Lacho Dimov, a Bulgarian coach working there. Recognizing that many Bulgarian coaches might not have such an opportunity, we decided to document our visit.

We created a two-and-a-half-hour video featuring footage from the training grounds of FC Köln, Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Mönchengladbach, and German national youth team camps. The video also includes interviews with coaches from FC Köln and profiles of two young Bulgarian players training in Germany.

At Campionia we aim to share our insights with Bulgarian coaches, players, and parents, believing that collective effort is necessary to improve Bulgarian football. We acknowledge the differences in scale and resources between Germany and Bulgaria but emphasize that many positive changes can be made with proper dedication.

We encourage viewers to share the video widely on social media to reach as many people in the Bulgarian football community as possible.
