Blagoy Zhorev Georgiev (Bulgarian: Благой Жорев Георгиев; born 21 December 1981 in Sofia) is a Bulgarian footballer who plays as a midfielder. He plays for FC Orenburg.
Georgiev was born in Sofia. He is a product of the Slavia Sofia youth academy. He signed a professional contract in June 1999 and then made his first team debut under Miroslav Mironov' management three months later, on 17 October, in a 3–1 home win over Pirin Blagoevgrad. Georgiev's first goal came on 27 November 1999, when he scored a last-minute against Beroe Stara Zagora to secure a 1–1 away draw. On 11 March 2000, he netted Slavia's only goal in their league loss, a 2–1 defeat against Velbazhd Kyustendil. He then scored in Slavia's 3–2 win against Botev Plovdiv on 22 April, taking his tally for the season to 3 goals.
On 27 September 2003, Blago scored his first-ever hat-trick in his career, scoring four in a 5–2 away win over Chernomorets Burgas. After scoring his 17th league goal in the final game of the 2003–04 season, a 2–0 win against Naftex Burgas, he ended the campaign in joint second place with Stoyko Sakaliev in the race for the Bulgarian A PFG golden boot.
During his six years at Slavia Stadium, he scored 46 league goals in 172 matches.
On 13 January 2006, Deportivo Alavés confirmed Georgiev has joined on loan until the end of the season. He made his La Liga debut a week later, during Alaves's 2–0 loss against Barcelona at Camp Nou. He spent most of his time with Alaves on the bench. Blago returned to Bulgaria at the end of the season having made 10 appearances in Alaves's unsuccessful battle against relegation.
