Euro 2020 Qualifier: UEFA Fine Bulgaria Following Racist Abuse

Bulgaria has been hit with stadium ban and fine £65,000 by Uefa following the racist abuse England players suffered in Sofia last month.
The European football governing body ordered that the Bulgarian team will play one match behind closed doors. 
England’s Euro 2020 qualifier on October 15 was marred by racism and had to be stopped twice.
Uefa were under scrutiny to hand out tough sanctions but the punishment has raised questions about whether the punishment is strong enough.

Bulgaria have been hit with a two-game stadium ban but one of those games has been suspended for two years. The Bulgarian Football Union has also been fined €75,000 for the racist behaviour of its supporters and the throwing of objects.
Bulgaria already had a partial stadium closure for the England match, which the Three Lions won 6-0, because of previous racist behaviour.
