SOFIA: Bulgarian Football Union's president Borislav Mihaylov has turned down the prime minister's call to resign following racist abuse and monkey chants from Bulgaria fans towards black England players during their Euro 2020 qualifier.

"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."
