In a bizarre turn of events, Bulgarian football club Arda Kardzhali has apologised after mistakenly holding a minute’s silence for a former player who is still very much alive. The club intended to honour someone they believed had passed away, only to later realise the error.
The incident took place before a recent match, where players, officials, and fans solemnly observed the tribute. However, it quickly emerged that the individual in question was alive, prompting the club to issue a formal apology.
In a statement addressing the mistake, Arda Kardzhali expressed regret for the misunderstanding and extended their best wishes to the former player, hoping for “many more years of good health.”
The unusual blunder has since gained attention, sparking a mixture of disbelief and humour among fans. While the club may have fumbled this tribute, the heartfelt well-wishes that followed serve as a reminder that even mistakes can lead to positive sentiments.
