Description:

Bozhidar Kraev began playing football at his hometown club Botev Vratsa at the age of six, before joining Chavdar Etropole. He passed a 1-year trial at FC Barcelona as part of a Gillette programme that was initiated by Bulgarian football legend – Hristo Stoichkov. In 2013, at the age of 16, Kraev joined Levski Sofia’s academy. He made his first team debut in a 1–1 league draw against Lokomotiv Plovdiv on 19 July 2014, coming on as a second-half substitute. On 23 September 2014, Kraev scored his first goals for Levski, scoring a hat-trick in a 7–1 away win over Spartak Varna in the Bulgarian Cup. In 2014, he was picked for the “TOP 40 young talent in world football – born in 1997” by The Guardian.
