European Week of Sport begins in Bulgaria

Only 3 percent of Bulgarians are physically active, said Yoanna Dochevska, chair of the Bulgarian Sports Development Association and added:

“There are many reasons - many say they cannot afford it or that there are no sporting facilities. We expect an update of data by the end of the year that will show whether there has been any development in the past three years."

The European Week of Sport begins in Bulgaria today. The EC initiative features various sporting games and initiatives in nine towns in the country. The start was given this morning with a sports exposition in Boris Garden in Sofia.
