SLAVIA BACKGAMMON CLUB
(SOFIA, BULGARIA)

THE BEGINNING
„Slavia Backgammon Club“ was established on the 2nd of June 2002, by a group of „Slavia Sofia“ supporters, crazy about the game.

TRADITIONAL MIXED TABLA
2nd of June 2002 is also the day when the first official weekly traditional mixed tabla tournament was organised. 4 players did participate and the name of the first winner was Nikolay Prokopiev. Ever since, we have organised over 600 weekly live tournaments and 20 annual championships. 17 times the champion was „Slavia Backgammon Club“ player. The record holder is Bogidar Iliev, who has won 16 championships titles.

MODERN BACKGAMMON
In 2015 two of our players attended international backgammon tournaments and since 2016 modern backgammon became the 2nd official discipline in our club. „Slavia Backgammon Club“ team is organising once a year „Slavia Open“, a free of charge online tournament.
