The United Kingdom strongly condemns the racist conduct of some spectators present at the Bulgaria vs England football match on 14 October, as does the Bulgarian Government. The United Kingdom welcomes the swift action by Bulgarian Government, and our Ambassador to Bulgaria has spoken with senior Bulgarian Government figures on this issue.

The United Kingdom remains committed, both domestically and internationally, to eliminating any form of racism, including in the sports industry.
