The first ten people to purchase online tickets on each of the two days will receive a card with an autograph from the official ambassador of the tournament Stiliyan Petrov.

The closing ceremony will start an hour before the final and will offer an attractive programme filled with many surprises.

It is expected that French football legend Zinedine Zidane will also attend the final, cheering for his son Luca, whose remarkable performance proved decisive in the semifinal against Belgium.

Luca Zidane showed impressive goalkeeping skills, saving three penalties in the shoot-out and sending his team to the final after 1-1 in the regular time and 2-1 on penalties.

The opening ceremony at the Beroe stadium in Stara Zagora already broke the record for the highest attendance in the tournament for a match different from the final.
