Hristo Stoichkov received an autographed Juventus jersey from Pavel Nedved during a visit to Prague. The exchange occurred while both former players were present in the Czech capital for an official engagement involving youth development.

Stoichkov displayed the gift on Instagram and thanked the Czech Ballon d'Or winner for the gesture. He publicly acknowledged the unique present alongside expressions of gratitude toward other officials involved in the occasion.

The Bulgarian legend was in the Czech capital as an ambassador for the FIFA Football for Schools program. This initiative encourages physical activity among students and develops communication and teamwork skills through football.

Stoichkov and Nedved participated in activities with approximately 100 children at Strahov on the final day of a three-day seminar that concluded on November 5. Their joint appearance formed part of the practical component of the educational project.

Czech Football Association President David Trunda and government representatives also participated in the event. Stoichkov specifically thanked the football association president, the sports minister, and the education minister in his social media message regarding the visit.

The first phase of the program will cover 294 primary schools in the Czech Republic. This rollout marks the initial stage of implementing the FIFA-backed educational framework within the country's school system.
