LONDON (Reuters) - Anti-racism organisation Kick It Out has criticised European football's governing body UEFA for failing to abandon Monday's Euro 2020 qualifier in Bulgaria after England's black players were subjected to monkey chants.

The game was twice halted in the first half, first when England manager Gareth Southgate informed the UEFA delegate about incidents and a public announcement was made.

Kick It Out said it was"sickened by the disgusting racist abuse" and suggested UEFA should have taken stronger action. "It's now time for UEFA to step up and show some leadership. For far too long, they have consistently failed to take effective action." This was never implemented in Sofia although UEFA said there had been a discussion with the England bench after the second incident and they had agreed to continue as it was so close to halftime.
