Basketball in Sofia

Hey guys,

I am going to Sofia in a couple of days and I am looking for a place where I could play basketball, either pick up or full on games if I can.

I'm thinking of staying in Sofia for 2-3 days.

Anybody have any clue where I could play?

ok, Marin got back to me. Before I give my answer, Marin was born & raised in Sofia, went to university in the U.S., and moved back to Sofia.

His reply to your question:

<b>What's basketball?

I don't know any places for pickup games of basketball.

We only play football. </b>

Sorry I wasn't much help. Perhaps ask when you get there?

Oops, I thought I replied. Thanks for your help anyway, I appreciate it.

So just a little update,

I found a place where they play basketball. There is a court on Chervena Roza near Nishava. I took the tram #1 all the way to it's final destination, took the underpass, and walked towards Nishava. There are some schools in that neighbourhood but the court I went on seems to be a higher level. I met two guys there and they were pretty good.
