Bulgaria's football has been on a steady decline, dropping from 36th in the world in 2017 to their current FIFA ranking of 84th, showcasing inconsistent performances.
Bulgaria's national team, under coach Ilian Iliev, has had a turbulent year, managing to end a four-game losing streak and even achieving decent draws against Hungary and Serbia.
Star player Kiril Despodov has made a significant impact, scoring crucial goals against Northern Ireland and Shamrock Rovers, marking him as a player to watch.
Despite the challenges ahead, the Irish side faces a Bulgaria team that, while struggling historically, can still provide stiff competition, evident from their mixed results.
