"The football idiots of Europe" (in short, "Euroidiots") is a popular, ironic name of the Bulgarian football club PFC Levski (Sofia). It first appeared in several European newspapers after the match between Antwerp and Levski (UEFA Cup 89/90, 1st round). In this match Levski were leading with 3:1 till the 89th minute and then Antwerp managed to score three goals in the next 5 minutes with 10 men on the field. The match finished 4:3 for Antwerp and they were through after the first leg 0:0 in Sofia.

During 2008, Levski once again proved why they earned this nickname - to date, they are the only football team in the world that has lost two European qualifier games in a single year - against BATE (Borisov) and MSK Zilina.

In September 2009 Levski got one even better - just a day before the important match with their Bulgarian arch-rivals CSKA Sofia they announced the sale of 4 first-team players to the Russian club Rubin Kazan. Levski duly flied the players to Russia to finalise the transfers only to find out that Rubin Kazan were totally unaware of these transfers. It all collapsed and the players returned to Sofia .... just in time to witness the 2-0 loss of Levski at the hands of CSKA Sofia.

The team now has a facebook page using this term for themselves.

Why is the Levski Sofia team referred to as Euroidiots?

"The football idiots of Europe" (in short, "Euroidiots") is a popular, ironic name of the Bulgarian football club PFC Levski (Sofia), formerly Vitosha (Sofia). It first appeared in several European media after the match between Royal Antwerp and Levski (UEFA Cup 89/90, 1st round). In this match Levski were leading with 3:1 until the 89th minute and then Antwerp managed to score three goals in the next 5 minutes with 10 men on the field. The match finished 4:3 for Antwerp and they were through after the first leg 0:0 in Sofia. As a result of Levski's fiasco, on September 26, 1989, the popular European Sports Channel "Eurosport" began their evening UEFA match overview with Levski's game by referring to them as "the football idiots of Eurpope". On the following day, the French sports newspaper "L'Equipe" once again referred to Levski as the "Euroidiots" for their fiasco against Royal Antwerp. Most recently, the Spanish newspaper "El Mundo Deportivo" referred to Levski Sofia as "El Debil" before Levski's Europa League game with Villareal. "El Débil" is the Spanish translation of "The Idiots" - "El Villarreal se estrena ante el débil Levski" Following a series of disasters in the European football tournaments, various newspapers and sport websites in Bulgaria have continuously referred to Levski Sofia as the "Euroidiots". During 2008, Levski once again proved why they earned this nickname - to date, they are the only football team in the world that has lost two European qualifier games in a single year - against BATE Borisov and MSK Zilina. In September 2009, Levski got one even better - just a day before the important match with their Bulgarian rivals CSKA Sofia, they announced the sale of 4 first-team players to the Russian club Rubin Kazan. Levski duly flied the players to Russia to finalise the transfers only to find out that Rubin Kazan were totally unaware of these transfers. It all collapsed and the players returned to Sofia .... just in time to witness the 2-0 loss of Levski at the hands of CSKA Sofia. (The "army men" team that has all the championship wins over Levski.) Notably, Levski's nickname has been uniformly accepted throughout the Bulgarian sport masses. For example, the Bulgarian media commonly refers to them as Euroidiots even in basketball games.
