Kazichene (Bulgarian: Казичене[kɐˈzit͡ʃɛnɛ]) is a large village in the Pancharevo district to the east of the Bulgarian capital of Sofia. As of 2007, the village officially had 4,977 inhabitants.[1] Because of its close proximity to the Sofia ring road and the nearby railroad, over the past decade the area has developed into an industrial-storage zone with a logistics center and offices of a number of prominent companies such as Werta Logistics, Balkan Steel Engineering, and the Chipita snacks factory.[2][3][4][5]
There is a large lake near Kazichene where the Litex water park is located. Built in the mid-1980s, today the park is the only place in Bulgaria offering boatless water skiing and wakeboarding.[6][7]
The village has a single football club, FC Kazichene, playing in the Bulgarian fourth division, known as the A OFG.[8] Several prominent footballers have ended their careers there, including Emil Kremenliev and Ivan Vasilev. The town is also known for being the birthplace of Plamen Krumov, a current Levski Sofia footballer, and Borislav Stoyanov, who plays for SV Schwarzhofen.
Kazichene Cove on Low Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica is named after Kazichene.[9]
