A Bulgarian soccer club has been forced to a shameful apology after maintaining a minute of silence for a former player who was not really dead.
Arda Kardzhali and Levski Sofía presented their respects to footballer Petko Ganchev before his high -flying Bulgarian shock this weekend.
Both players could be seen with an inclined head to remind the former Arda star in the central circle before the referee was launched. However, it only took until the half time when his mistake was recognized by the club.
The local team sent an email to the shock issuer to explain that they had “received incorrect information” and confirm that Gonchev was still alive.
A club statement then said: 'Dear journalists and fans of the Arda team.
'PFC Arda's management wishes to express its deepest apologies to the former team footballer, Petko Ganchev, and their loved ones, after the club received incorrect information about his death.
