Football

Football (soccer) plays a vital role in contributing to the unique and dynamic spirit of The American College of Sofia. The team is represented by players from 8th-10th grade (ACS II) and students from 11th and 12th grade (ACS I). You can see their passion for the sport as they often can be seen vigorously chasing a ball on the school’s grassy pitch. The ACS community takes great pride in our football team because we recognize that this sport fosters valuable qualities in our students such as discipline, responsibility and being a good team player.

The boys football teams are coached by former football professional player Adrian Gruev. They hold practices every week to ensure that our students stay engaged and keep improving their abilities. The goal is to create a cohesive team with great spirit and to try to achieve the highest results possible.

Our teams participate in competitions and tournaments against other schools an in recent years, they have represented the College with pride at several prestigious international events. In 2024, the ACS Football team took part in the World School Games in Barcelona, showcasing excellent teamwork and sportsmanship on the global stage.

Traditionally, we sponsor the annual ACS Open which invites schools to our campus. In addition to the varsity football squads, the college encourages students to develop their competitive spirit during the annual ACS Intramural Football Championship.
