The EuroVolley 2021 Women Ambassadors from Bulgaria!
Bulgaria will be one of the four host countries for this year’s EuroVolley Women event, alongside Romania, Croatia and Serbia later this summer and two of the biggest names from the Bulgarian national team have been chosen to be part of the Ambassadors Programme.
The Ambassadors Programme brings together two fantastic players from each of the four host countries per gender. In the coming months leading up to the start of the events, the eight Ambassadors will be actively engaging with fans across all CEV platforms and beyond, taking everyone along on the EuroVolley 2021 journey via exclusive content especially designed to give fans a sneak peek into their own experiences.
Over the next couple of days we will continue to gradually announce the Ambassadors from each host country, and after announcing the Ambassadors from Romania and Croatia, time has come to reveal the Ambassadors from Bulgaria: Zhana Todorova and Elitza Vasileva.
Zhana Todorova"It is really inspiring to play for Bulgaria in front of our fans. Our main weapon is the team work, but we hope to add one more player – our fans."
