SOFIA (Reuters) - Bulgaria's prime minister called on Tuesday for the president of the country's football union to resign following racist abuse and monkey chants from Bulgarian fans towards black England players during their Euro 2020 qualifier.

The match, won 6-0 by England, was temporarily halted by the referee in the first half to tackle the abuse from the crowd in Bulgaria's national stadium, under a three-step protocol by European soccer governing body UEFA.

"It is unacceptable for Bulgaria, which is one of the most tolerant countries in the world, and people of different ethnicities and religions live in peace, to be associated with racism and xenophobia." "It's quite disappointing to focus on racism,” BFU vice-president Yordan Lechkov said. “It's not serious to concentrate on that if there's a qualifier like this and we're playing against a team like England."
