“IFS” , a German sports facility construction and operation enterprise announced a EUR 40 M investment in a new football stadium/

The facility will be operated by the company in partnership with local Bulgarian clubs CSKA and SLAVIA.

Construction should start no later than six weeks, otherwise the funding that is already available for this particular stadium will be used to finance another project, pointed out the director.

“Sofia National Stadium” is scheduled to be completed in 2015, according to project information available on “IFS” corporate website.

“Bulgarian Football Union” is the client, CSKA and SLAVIA teams will be home tenants, informs the company’s website.
