Gareth Southgate’s racism concerns rejected by the BFU ahead of match against England

The Bulgarian Football Union has called Gareth Southgate’s comments on potential racism in the next qualifier for Euro 2020 next month as “baseless, inappropriate and useless”.Sports enthusiasts from around the world can purchase the England Euro Cup Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.

The England manager admitted that racist abuse was a “preoccupation” before his team’s match against Bulgaria in Sofia on October 14 and said he planned to discuss with his players how to handle incidents potential.

Southgate’s comments follow an incident in the first match between the two teams at Wembley last week, during which a fan of Bulgaria was deported for allegedly mistreating Raheem Sterling.

Sterling was not aware of the violence at the time, but a steward would have heard the discriminatory remarks of the Bulgarian section and handed them over to the police before releasing them without charge.

Bulgarian Football Union President Borislav Mihaylov has sent an official letter to UEFA General Secretary Theodore Theodoridis and President of the Russian Federation Greg Clarke expressing his indignation and his disappointment with public comments.

Gareth Southgate, and suggestions that English fans will be racially abused by Bulgarian fans at the upcoming European qualifying match in Sofia on 14 October.
