'''Georgi Chilikov''' ({{lang-bg|Георги Чиликов}}; born 23 August 1978 in [[Burgas]]) is a former [[Bulgaria]]n [[Association football|football]]er.

He was part of the Bulgarian [[2004 European Football Championship]] team, which exited in the first round, finishing bottom of Group C, having finished top of Qualifying Group 8 in the pre-tournament phase. Chilikov scored his only goal for the national side in the 2:1 home win against [[Andorra national football team|Andorra]] on 16 October 2002 in a [[UEFA Euro 2004 qualifying|Euro 2004 qualifier]].

==Career==
Chilikov was educated in [[FC Chernomorets Burgas|Chernomorets]]'s youth academy. From 1999 to 2001 he played for the other club from [[Burgas]] – [[PFC Naftex Burgas|Naftex]]. His move from [[PFC Naftex Burgas|Naftex]] to [[PFC Levski Sofia|PFC Levski (Sofia)]] made him the record holder of the highest transfer between Bulgarian clubs. In June 2001, [[Levski Sofia|PFC Levski (Sofia)]] signed Chilikov to a four-year deal for a record €1.25 million. During his time with the "blues", Chilikov established himself as a dependable goal-scorer. On 24 April 2004, he netted a [[last-minute goal]] against archrivals [[CSKA Sofia]] in an [[A PFG]] match to help his team to a 2:1 away win.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.blitz.bg/sport/article/31064|title=Всички мачове между "Левски" и ЦСКА – III част!|accessdate=31 December 2011 |date=27 March 2010 |language=Bulgarian |publisher=Блиц Спорт}}</ref> On 28 August 2002, Chilikov failed to convert a [[Penalty kick (association football)|penalty]] in the 0:1 loss against [[Ukraine|Ukrainian]] side [[Dynamo Kyiv]] in a third qualifying round [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] match.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://cl.sportal.bg/history/20022003-levski--skonto-riga-dinamo-kiev.2426.html |archive-url=http://archive.is/20120708204139/http://cl.sportal.bg/history/20022003-levski--skonto-riga-dinamo-kiev.2426.html |dead-url=yes |archive-date=8 July 2012 |title=2002–2003: Левски – Сконто Рига, Динамо Киев |accessdate=31 December 2011 |date=1 September 2010 |language=Bulgarian |publisher=Sportal.bg }}</ref> In 2005, he moved to Portugal [[CD Nacional|Nacional Madeira]]. In June 2007, Chilikov was loaned out to [[CSKA Sofia]] for one year and 50 000 euros price. Despite some reservations on the part of the CSKA supporters (due to the time he had spent at [[Levski Sofia]]), Chilikov quickly managed to win them over. On 11 August 2007, he netted an equalizing goal in an [[A PFG]] match against [[Litex Lovech]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.sport1.bg/sport1/node/60933/ajax_body |title="Литекс"-ЦСКА 1:1 |accessdate=31 December 2011 |date=11 August 2007 |language=Bulgarian |publisher=Sport1.bg |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120420195029/http://www.sport1.bg/sport1/node/60933/ajax_body |archivedate=20 April 2012 |df=dmy }}</ref> On 30 August 2007, Chilikov scored a [[last-minute goal]] against [[Cyprus|Cypriot]] side [[AC Omonia]] in a [[UEFA Cup]] game and helped his team advance to the next stage.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.7sport.net/archive7ds/2007/08/31/otlichnici/index.htm|title=Чиликов нокаутира Омония, златната резерва вкарва за 2:1 в 90-ата минута|accessdate=31 December 2011 |date=31 August 2007 |language=Bulgarian |publisher=7sport.net}}</ref> However, despite generally impressing in his substitute appearances, Chilikov failed to establish himself as part of the starting 11. In January 2008, he was transferred to Chinese club [[Dalian Shide]]. After that he had brief stints with [[FC Tobol]], [[PSFC Chernomorets Burgas|Chernomorets Burgas]] and [[Lokomotiv Plovdiv]]. From July to September 2010 he served as assistant manager in [[Neftochimic Burgas 1986|Neftochimic Burgas]].
