Plamen Yordanov Galabov (Bulgarian: Пламен Йорданов Гълъбов; born 2 November 1995) is a Bulgarian footballer who currently plays for Maccabi Netanya as a defender.[2]

Club career

Galabov made his competitive debut on 12 December 2012 in a Bulgarian Cup game against Spartak Varna, coming on as a substitute in the 56th minute. Litex won the game by a score of 7–1. A year later, on 14 December 2013, he made his A PFG debut in a 5–2 away win over Lokomotiv Plovdiv, playing the full 90 minutes, though he was sent off for a second yellow card in the closing moments of the match.[3]

On 6 September 2017, Galabov was loaned to Etar Veliko Tarnovo until the end of the year.[4] A year later he was again loaned out to Etar until the end of 2018.[5]

International career

Galabov was named in Bulgaria's 2016 Kirin Cup squad but was later withdrawn through injury.[6] He earned his first cap on 3 September 2020, replacing then CSKA Sofia teammate Petar Zanev for the last 11 minutes of the 1:1 home draw with Republic of Ireland in a UEFA Nations League match.[7]
