Happy Birthday to Bulgarian legend Dimitar Karov! 🇧🇬
Inducted into the International Volleyball Hall of Fame in 2025, Dimitar Karov is celebrated as one of the greatest setters of his era — the creative force who helped elevate Bulgaria to global prominence in the 1960s and 70s. With unmatched vision and precision, he commanded the court as a three-time Olympian, guiding Bulgaria to its historic fourth-place finish at the 1972 Olympic Games.
Karov’s brilliance shone brightest at the 1970 FIVB World Championship, where he led Bulgaria to silver and earned Best Setter honors. At the club level, he powered CSKA Sofia to the 1969 Champions Cup, a milestone moment in Bulgarian volleyball history.
Happy Birthday, Dimitar — your leadership, artistry, and legacy continue to inspire generations of players across Europe and beyond!
