Legea concluded a contract in 2012 with 31-time Bulgarian A Professional Football Group champions CSKA Sofia

During the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, Legea sponsored the North Korean soccer team. According to the company, "Many ask us what interest we could have in sponsoring North Korea, and whether this could not amount to negative publicity, but we disagree... there is no negative publicity."[2]
