Overall, mini football is very popular in Bulgaria and is gaining more and more popularity, as these years the number of playing fields have grown vastly.
And still, you can hardly find a free spot to play if you haven't reserved it from days before. Naturally, this demand pushes the growth of whole-season amateur leagues too.
I myself have been playing mini football for years; my team have been competing in different tournaments, and now I can tell we feel most comfortable in the current league we are playing in - Sofia Premier League.
These guys already have three successful seasons behind their back and keep increasing the number of teams signing up every year. They keep the statistics accurate and up to date, record every match (and even take interviews from the players after it), upload these videos online, and the most valuable thing is they have a firm stance on fair play (there are even weekly and whole-season awards for fair-play). All matches take place in a covered pitch with heating, so weather outside is a non-factor.
Basically, you could contact Sofia Premier League for signing up whenever you get your crew up and running, and they will set you up for the soonest possible start date. And then, if we meet on the pitch - sorry but I will have to pierce your net :]
