Sofia, Bulgaria -The Closing Ceremony Press Release on
Sofia 2013.com: Mr Cooper (CEO, ICSD) and Eli Zaharieva (Organising Committee, Host Country) started the meeting by drawing attention to particular highlights of the Games so far, and the exciting final weekend of the Games to come. Eli Zaharieva was delighted to report on the progress of Bulgarian athletes with medals for their wrestling team. Mr Cooper then explained the outline for the Closing Ceremony on Sunday.
The Men's football final will take place at
Vasil Levski Stadium, and depending on whether the match is completed after 90 minutes or there is a need for extra time, the turnaround will be quite quick.
The plan is to vacate the stadium and go to the neighbouring park, Boris Gardens while the stadium is prepared for the Speeches and the Closing Ceremony video.
After the speeches and the passing of the flag at
Vasil Levski Stadium, there will be entertainment at Boris Gardens, which will include a customary Bulgarian folk dance company.
As one Deaf world, we will all be together, mingle and celebrate the Deaflympics as one community. The element of Deaf culture where there will be no time limit, as the lamps in the park will all be kept on so there will be plenty of light for sign language and celebration.
