2020–21 Third Amateur Football League (Bulgaria)

The 2020-21 Third Amateur Football League season will be the 71st of the Bulgarian Third Amateur League. The group is equivalent to the third level of the Bulgarian football pyramid, comprising four divisions based on geographical areas. These divisions are the North-West, North-East, South-East, and South-West. The number of teams in each division varies, similarly to previous seasons. The season started on 8 August 2020,[1] a delay of two weeks due to the COVID-19 situation in Bulgaria.[2]

The first round match between Etar's second team and Levski 2007 (Levski), which was originally to be held on 9 August, was postponed after Hristo Markov from the Veliko Tarnovo team tested positive for the virus.[3] Two more matches (from the second round) will also be held at a later date than the on which they were set to be played - between Etar II and OFK Tryavna (even though all the other Etar team members' test results were negative)[4] as well as the Levski 2020 (Lom) versus Lokomotiv Mezdra encounter, the latter due to repair work pertaining to the building and the pitch of Lom's city stadium.[5]

gollark: Why would you have cereal with milk‽
gollark: How long *is* a jiffy? Based on my experiences, it is several minutes.
