The 1935 Balkan Cup was the sixth Balkan Cup football tournament. The national teams of Yugoslavia, Greece, Bulgaria and Romania took part and Yugoslavia won it.[1] At the end of the tournament, Yugoslavia were declared winners because of their better goal average (the standard tie-breaker at the time); Bulgaria protested, stating that if the match between Yugoslavia and Romania had finished regularly, the former's goal record might have changed, but after a one-year procedure, the protest was rejected and Yugoslavia remained winners.[1] The host of the tournament was Bulgaria.[2][3] The top goal scorer was Ljubomir Angelov from Bulgaria with 6 goals in the form of two hat-tricks.
