Bulgarian football teams recorded two draws and one loss in this week's European qualifying matches.

In Sofia, Levski held Sporting Braga to a 0–0 draw in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League second qualifying round tie. The Bulgarian side put in a solid performance against the experienced Portuguese team, but they now face a challenging away match on 31 July. This was Levski's third consecutive draw in regular time since the start of the European qualifiers.

In Kardzhali, Arda also drew 0–0, this time against HJK Helsinki in a Europa Conference League match. The Finnish side acknowledged the challenging heat, though Arda appeared to be the more active team. The second leg will be played in Helsinki next week.

Meanwhile, Cherno More lost 1–0 to Istanbul Basaksehir in their Conference League tie in Razgrad. Ömer Şahiner scored the only goal of the match in the 52nd minute, giving the visitors the advantage ahead of the return leg.
