CSKA won the league without a single defeat, 16 points ahead of their archrival Levski Sofia. Despite the convincing results during the season, CSKA failed to get a UEFA license to participate in the Champions League due to unpaid debts. The guilt for the disaster in the club was taken by their chairman Aleksandar Tomov.https://dariknews.bg/novini/sport/cska-bez-licenz-za-uefa-fenovete-besni-tomov-poe-vinata-258773 ЦСКА без лиценз за УЕФА, феновете бесни, Томов пое вината Jun 3, 2008 Dariknews.bg August 17, 2026http://www.trud.bg/Article.asp?ArticleId=1568810 Part of Aleksandar Tomov's book: How they took the license of CSKA 2012-11-15 https://web.archive.org/web/20160303233411/http://www.trud.bg/Article.asp?ArticleId=1568810 2016-03-03 dead Teams Team changes At the end of the last season, Conegliano German, Rodopa Smolyan, and Rilski Sportist Samokov were relegated after finishing in the bottom three places of the 2006–07 season.
