Match22 Aug 2026

Dunav Ruse out of the cup

Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa ended it 2‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Denislav Minchev scores twice — 8.21

Two goals and a mark of 8.21 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Fabricio is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Fabricio: 1 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

No sign of nerves from Kristiyan Balov at 20 — 7.82

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Kristiyan Balov did not need any: 7.82, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Vladimir Mendes goes up and wins it — 7.54

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.54 for the rest of it.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

An offer of $1.4M for Dragan Grivić

Dunav Ruse have gone to CSKA 1948 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.

Match22 Aug 2026

No end in sight to Dunav Ruse's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Dunav Ruse has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Dunav Ruse

Ilker Budinov and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match22 Aug 2026

No clean sheets in sight for Dunav Ruse

5 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

No sign of nerves from Kristiyan Balov at 20 — 9.37

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Kristiyan Balov did not need any: 9.37, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad17 Aug 2026

3 goals for Kristiyan Balov

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

Boardroom17 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 $204.8K — a club that wants Marto Boychev enough to be asked twice.

Match15 Aug 2026

Dunav Ruse come up short against Chernomorets Burgas

Chernomorets Burgas left with the points after a 3‑5 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Dunav Ruse bid $190.0K for Marto Boychev

The offer went to CSKA 1948 this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Dunav Ruse

Fabricio and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match15 Aug 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

8 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Dunav Ruse and Chernomorets Burgas in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Trakai tell Dunav Ruse: Marius Simkus is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

Dunav Ruse supporters have found a favourite in Kristiyan Balov

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Kristiyan Balov has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match8 Aug 2026

Dunav Ruse taken apart

1‑4 to Fratria, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

A debut Nikolay Georgiev will not forget — 7.53

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.53 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Krasimir Nedelev keeps Dunav Ruse in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Ilker Budinov arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Ilker Budinov has, at Dunav Ruse, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Market10 Aug 2026

Preslav Petrov comes home

The shirt still fits. Preslav Petrov is back at Dunav Ruse, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Dunav Ruse

Fabricio was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Septemvri tell Dunav Ruse: Ali Aruna is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Dunav Ruse

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

Market10 Aug 2026

Petar Stoyanov steps up from the Dunav Ruse academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Petar Stoyanov 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.

In brief
