“Sofia is already European Capital of Sport,” said Mayor of the capital city Sofia Yordanka Fandakova, speaking at the official opening of the 32nd International Marathon Sofia.
 

“I see that you are inpatient to set the start of the 32nd Marathon. I will remind you that at that time last year, when we opened the 31st Marathon, we were fighting to make Sofia European Capital of Sport in 2018,” the mayor remarked. 
 

Ms Fandakova thanked everyone that supported the initiative.
