UEFA opens case against Bulgarian Football Union

UEFA has opened a disciplinary case against the Bulgarian Football Union in connection with the UEFA EURO 2012 Group G qualifier against England in Sofia on 2 September.

UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against the Bulgarian Football Union (BFS) in the wake of last month's UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying match between Bulgaria and England.

The BFS is to face charges of discriminatory behaviour relating to chanting by home supporters during the Group G game in Sofia on 2 September as well as charges relating to the setting-off and throwing of fireworks.

The case will be heard by the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body on Thursday 17 November.
