Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Atanas Iliev scores twice — 8.80

Two goals and a mark of 8.80 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market17 Aug 2026

Hebar come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and CSKA 1948 did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Frédéric Maciel beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 25. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

CSKA 1948 go back to the board over Gabriel Noga

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $73.9K — a club that wants Gabriel Noga enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

An offer of $64.0K for Gabriel Noga

CSKA 1948 have gone to Botev Plovdiv with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Market17 Aug 2026

Marto Boychev moves on

Dunav Ruse pay $140.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A row about effort at CSKA 1948

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Berna was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Door shut on Martin Petkov

CSKA 1948 asked and Botev Vratsa said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at CSKA 1948

Dragan Grivić and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match8 Aug 2026

CSKA 1948 run riot against Botev Vratsa

4‑1, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Squad10 Aug 2026

3 goals for Frédéric Maciel

The match ball belongs to Frédéric Maciel, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Market10 Aug 2026

Terms done: Marto Boychev is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Dunav Ruse waiting with a shirt. Nobody at CSKA 1948 is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Yohann Magnin signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Yohann Magnin and CSKA 1948 agree another 4 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at CSKA 1948

André Hoffmann and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

One of those days for Frédéric Maciel

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.33, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

CSKA 1948 rebuffed over Gabriel Noga

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Botev Plovdiv have kept their man, and CSKA 1948 go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market10 Aug 2026

Levski join the queue for Fourat Soltani

Add another name to the list: Levski have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Fourat Soltani. The answer from CSKA 1948 has not changed — yet.

Market10 Aug 2026

Stoycho Milanov steps up from the CSKA 1948 academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Stoycho Milanov has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

The Dunav Ruse Chronicle

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad10 Aug 2026

A one-man rearguard from Umut Habil

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Kostadin Iliev gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Kostadin Iliev has just signed for Dunav Ruse, and for once the answer mattered.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Marto Boychev is a medical away from Dunav Ruse

The deal with CSKA 1948 is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Dunav Ruse go back to the board over Marto Boychev

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $153.6K — a club that wants Marto Boychev enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Dunav Ruse rebuffed over Georgi Lazarov

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Cherno More have kept their man, and Dunav Ruse go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Rumen Sandev stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Rumen Sandev and Dunav Ruse agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Dunav Ruse

Kostadin Iliev and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

The game went through Viktor Vasilev — 6.87

Marked 6.87 on 14 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

Market10 Aug 2026

Stilyan Atanasov steps up from the Dunav Ruse academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Stilyan Atanasov has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
