The first series of NFTs from the "Legends" collection is now on sale

On the emblematic date for all native football fans - November 17, NFT Credo puts on official sale the first of ten Nasko Sirakov NFT-series from the unique "Legends" collection. The day was not chosen by chance, and probably every Bulgarian knows that. On November 17, 1993, Bulgaria experienced a memorable evening at the Parc des Princes, when with two goals by Emil Kostadinov, they beat France in an extremely dramatic way with 2:1 and qualified for the World Cup '94 in the United States.

And although he did not take part in the great victory on French soil, the greatest goalscorer in the history of PFC "Levski" is of great credit for the incredible performance of our overseas team. Just such a moment "seals" the NFT-series "Black" - the frantic joy written on Sirakov's face, after Hristo Stoichkov has just opened the score against Greece in the second match of the "lions" of the World Cup.

On June 26, 1994, Nasco and company defeated our southern neighbors 4:0. At the "Soldier Field" stadium in Chicago, the "tricolors" recorded the first victory in the history of Bulgaria at the world football finals and laid the foundations for the "crazy American summer". With his goal in the 2:0 victory over Argentina, Sirakov not only "stamped" our team's tickets for the 1/8 finals, but also became the second Bulgarian after Hristo Bonev with goals in two world championships and the only one to score head to two different World Cups.

For Levski fans, however, the date brings a double flavor of delight. A quarter of a century before the unforgettable night in Paris, the "blues" achieved one of the most remarkable victories in their history. On November 17, 1968, led by the legendary Georgi Asparuhov, Krastyo Chakarov's players defeated CSKA 7:2. A success that is still remembered today.

The "Legends" collection was created precisely for this purpose - to take us back in time, to bring us back to the years of great, great successes and to preserve for future generations the great achievements of Bulgarian sport. The NFTs prepared in this case, presenting unforgettable moments of Nasko Sirakov's career, are another gesture to mark his 60th anniversary.

Earlier this year, Sirakov received 60 silver medals specially made for the occasion from the general sponsor of the "blues" Palms Bet. Valuable collectibles featuring the scorer's face are also on sale on the NFT Credo platform. What is even more valuable for the supporters of the great goalscorer and PFC "Levski" is that all the funds collected from the auction will be donated to the "blue" club.
