Football tournament season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2022–23 Bulgarian Cup was the 41st official edition of the Bulgarian annual football knockout tournament. It is sponsored by Sesame and known as the Sesame Kupa na Bulgaria for sponsorship purposes.[1] The competition began on 21 September 2022 with the preliminary round and finished with the final on 24 May 2023.[2] Levski Sofia were the defending cup winners, but were eliminated by Ludogorets Razgrad in the round of 16, who went on to win the cup for their 3rd overall. As Ludogorets were already assured of a place in the UEFA Europa Conference League via their league performance, the cup's European berth was passed to the third-placed team in the 2022–23 First League.
