Bulgaria is set to make history by hosting both alpine skiing and snowboarding World Cup events in the upcoming 2023/2024 season. The FIS calendar has confirmed Bansko, awarded Bulgaria's Best Ski Resort by the World Ski Awards, as the venue for the prestigious competitions. On February 10 and 11, 2024, the world's elite alpine skiers will converge in Bansko to compete in two highly anticipated disciplines – giant slalom and slalom. This marks the second time the resort has hosted these men's disciplines since 2012.
Adding to the excitement, the Bulgarian resort Pamporovo will make its debut as a host for World Cup races, featuring two parallel slalom snowboard events on January 20 and 21. The nod from FIS reflects the organization's confidence in Bulgaria's ability to deliver top-notch events. The Bulgarian Ski Federation's exemplary track record in organizing Ski and Snowboard World Cups since 2007 has played a pivotal role in securing this prestigious opportunity.
Over the years, Bulgaria has successfully hosted eight World Cup races in skiing and three in snowboarding in Bansko, along with a Snowboarding World Cup in Sofia. Additionally, the country has organized FIS Alpine Junior World Championships in skiing and snowboarding. Since 2003, various Bulgarian resorts, including Bansko, Borovets, Pamporovo, and Osogovo, have hosted 13 European cups in alpine skiing and snowboarding.
The confirmation of Bulgaria's prominent role in the FIS World Cup schedule for the 2023/24 season was announced during the Council's Spring Session in Zurich on May 24th. This recognition further solidifies Bulgaria's position on the global stage of winter sports and underscores its commitment to delivering exceptional events that showcase the country's passion for alpine skiing and snowboarding.
