Football is indeed the most important secondary thing in the world, and the teams, players, goals, and results are usually under the spotlight. However, sometimes everything gets overshadowed by some (more or less) bizarre moments, and one perfect example comes from Bulgaria.Crazy story coming from Bulgaria 🤣Bulgarian league game between Arda and Levski started with a minute of silence honouring ex-Arda player Petko Ganchev before it turned out the guy is still ALIVE‘We are very sorry for the misunderstanding and wish Mr Ganchev all the best pic.twitter.com/zk4hrBUXnA— Nilton Levenie (@NiltonLevenie) March 17, 2025 Namely, ahead of the clash between Arda Kardzhali and Levski Sofia in the Bulgarian top tier, the home team decided to observe a minute of silence and honour their former player Petko Ganchev, who reportedly died prior to the game. Nevertheless, the information they got was fake and – since they did not check its credibility – they made a terrible mistake, as the man was alive!##EDITORS_CHOICE##Even before the match was over, Ganchev himself or some of his relatives notified Arda representatives that they had been misinformed, and the Bulgarian side immediately issued an apologetic statement.”The management of PFC Arda would like to express a huge apology to the former Arda player Petko Ganchev and his relatives after the club received wrong information about his death. We wish Petko Ganchev many more years of good health and to enjoy the success of Arda,” the club from Kardzhali wrote on their Facebook page, as per BBC.##NAJAVA_MECA_8791613##
