This is not recent news, they adopted bitcoin in the 3rd quarter of last year and have stuck at it since then up until now. I hope they got some bitcoins in their stockpile and are benefiting from the current increase in price.

It is easy to understand. The club is small enough and they need any money they can get it they want to compete with other teams.
The same time you can see, that Tezos is an official sponsor of the Manchester United. https://tezos.com/manutd
For us it is just one more step to populate cryptocurrencies, for Botev Plovdiv - a chance to get some more money.

Botev is one of the few professional football clubs that have bitcoin logo on their shirt, so I think this could be interesting gift to someone and it is not that expensive.
Winning VIP tickets is fine bonus if you are living in Bulgaria or if you plan to visit their stadium and watch few matches.

the fact that this team accepts bitcoin as a payment method, just shows how bitcoin is evolving in that country, I hope that this team is not breaking the country's laws, because there are many countries in which no matter how much the government of that country accepts bitcoin, it allows that people buy, sell and trade bitcoin, but when they are in front of a popular company, or in this case a popular football team, that has a lot of fans, then the government starts to prohibit these large companies in the country from publicizing that accept bitcoin. I hope that's not the case with this team. Since the US SEC approved bitcoin, even my country's central bank encouraged people in my country to invest in bitcoin

So, as I don't know the laws of this country, I hope that we are also faced with a case in which the government does not create problems in accepting bitcoin. I'm also wondering how many fans of this team will buy tickets using bitcoin mainly because bitcoin is increasing in price a lot and with that people will tend to do hodl and not spend bitcoin to make payments. people will no doubt think why they would take 50 euros in bitcoin to buy a shirt from that team knowing that if they hodl 50 euros in bitcoin, in the future that money could be a decent amount of money

whereas people can pay using fiat. By this I mean that the idea of adding bitcoin as a payment method is a very good idea, but in practice few people will be using bitcoin for payments at the moment and the price of bitcoin is increasing a lot, it makes more sense to use fiat at this moment to pay for everything and use bitcoin to hodl and reap the profits in a few years. If this team probably receives any payment in bitcoin, it would be good if they kept the bitcoin for some time until they sold it for a very high price and that way they would make more profit

Interesting! They are a pro club from Bulgarian First League, the top of Bulgarian football league system.
I checked their twiter acc and they offer a raffle with prize 2 VIP tickets to anyone who buy the jersey on their store.
Also they wrote "Oldest football club in Bulgaria ⚽️ Established in 𝟣𝟫𝟣𝟤 ⚡️ Adopted #Bitcoin at block height 814670 " on their twitter information.
Thats cool lol!
