Bulgarian Football Union proposes football betting ban and centralised rights
The Bulgarian Football Union (BFU) plans to present a statute amendment in Sofia on 20 March that would prohibit football-related betting by players, coaches, club officials and other associated people. The proposal would also place betting and data rights for BFU competitions under the union’s central control; it requires approval at the plenary meeting.
The proposal could require clubs to establish compliance measures and betting-related commercial agreements to be negotiated centrally with the BFU.
