Five players from Bulgaria's golden football generation of the 1990s have also confirmed their participation - Nasko Sirakov, Yordan Letchkov, Lyuboslav Penev, Krasimir Balakov and Emil Kostadinov.
Other Europeans to take part in the show are Italians Roberto Baggio, Daniele Massaro, Gianfranco Zola and Antonio Benarrivo, Jean Pierre-Papin from France, Germany's Lothar Matthaeus and Piotr Nowak from Poland.
