Perspective
Bulgaria competed in its first Fed Cup in 1966. Until the 1996 edition of the competition the team has always played in the Fed Cup World Group. From 1996 the team is competing in Group I of the Europe/Africa Zone.
The best results of the Bulgarian Fed Cup team are the semifinals the team played in 1985 and 1987. The team also reached the quarterfinals of the competition in 1968, 1984, 1986, 1989, 1992 and 1994. These results are closely connected with the success of the Maleeva sisters (Magdalena Maleeva, Katerina Maleeva and Manuela Maleeva) who have represented Bulgaria for more than 20 years in the competition.
In 2023, Bulgaria competed in the Europe/Africa Zone Group I event in Antalya, where they finished in third place in Pool B of the competition. The team ended the group stage with a 3-2 W/L ratio after defeating Croatia, Sweden and Denmark and successfully maintained their place in the Europe/Africa Zone Group I until 2024.[1]
In 2024, Bulgaria competed in the Europe/Africa Zone Group I event in Oeiras, where they finished in last place in Pool A of the competition with only one win against Austria. In the play-offs the team proceeded to beat Norway, but then lost out to Portugal and was relegated to Europe/Africa Zone Group II for the upcoming 2025 edition.
