The 2020 Bulgarian Cup final was the final match of the
2019–20 Bulgarian Cup and the 80th final of the
Bulgarian Cup. The final took place on 1 July 2020 at
Vasil Levski National Stadium, Sofia, Bulgaria.[2] On 27 June the
Bulgarian Football Union announced that it is allowed for the stadium to host up to 30% of its total capacity (i.e. 12,000 spectators) with up to 3,000 spectators per block in accordance with the health regulations issued by the Ministry of Health in relation to the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic in Bulgaria.[3]
The clubs contesting the final were
CSKA Sofia and
Lokomotiv Plovdiv.[4] Both teams had met on multiple occasions in the competition but never in the final itself. This was CSKA's 33rd final and the first one since
2016, while Lokomotiv Plovdiv appeared in their 2nd consecutive and 6th overall final.
Lokomotiv Plovdiv won the game after penalties and lifted their 2nd consecutive cup. This victory ensured their qualification to the
first qualifying round of the
2020–21 UEFA Europa League. This was the first occasion in the history of the Cup finals in which a team from
Plovdiv managed to prevail against a
Sofia-based club - in the 15 previous instances the teams from the capital city had emerged victorious.[5]Momchil Tsvetanov joined
Krasimir Bezinski and
Elin Topuzakov in becoming the player with most cup wins in the history of the tournament.[6] This was his 6th cup in total with a 4th different club after
2008,
2009,
2016,
2018, and
2019.
