October 28 – Bulgaria will learn their fate later today for the racist abuse England players suffered during the recent Euro 2020 qualifier in Sofia.
England were 6-0 winners but the match was stopped twice for racist chanting by home supporters and could have been abandoned had the abuse continued.
The president of the Bulgaria Football Union (BFU), Borislav Mihaylov, resigned the following day and Bulgaria manager Krasimir Balakov also quit.
Authorities in Bulgaria have so far identified 16 suspects and made 12 arrests after the England game.
Bulgaria are already halfway through a partial two-game ban after being found guilty of racist behaviour in matches against the Czech Republic and Kosovo in June.
