Vasil Levski - The Apostle of Freedom
Vasil Levski (Bulgarian: Васил Левски, spelled in old Bulgarian orthography as Василъ Лѣвскій, pronounced [vɐˈsiɫ ˈlɛfski]), born Vasil Ivanov Kunchev (Васил Иванов Кунчев; 18 July 1840 – 18 February 1873), was a Bulgarian revolutionary who is, today, a national hero of Bulgaria. Dubbed the Apostle of Freedom, Levski ideologised and strategised a revolutionary movement to liberate Bulgaria from Ottoman rule. Levski founded the Internal Revolutionary Organisation, and sought to foment a nationwide uprising through a network of secret regional committees. In Romania, Levski helped institute the Bulgarian Revolutionary Central Committee, composed of Bulgarian expatriates. During his tours of Bulgaria, Levski established a wide network of insurrectionary committees. Ottoman authorities, however, captured him at an inn near Lovech and executed him by hanging in Sofia. He was a true Christian, a man of loyalty, and an example to all Nationalists.

No one asked but here’s my 128 quidditch teams for my story’s world cup. And 13 teams for the British/Irish League Cup is absolutely mathematically horrendous for a dyslexic person to have to lay out into a playable season. One more team would have killed them? Did I make a 14th? No. Why? Sheer pettiness and already being three hours into making a playable season lineup that didn’t make my own head explode.
The format is Country - City - Mascot/Team name
If you want to have some fun with it let me know who you’d root for or who you’d love to boo while they played.
