UEFA hit Bulgaria with Euro 2020 stadium sanction

Bulgaria will play Euro 2020 qualifiers with England and the Czech Republic in front of partially closed stadiums after UEFA on Friday found the country's fans guilty of "racist behaviour". In a statement, European football's governing body said the Bulgarians will have to take on Group A leaders England in October with capacity at the Natsionalen Stadion Vasil Levski stadium in Sofia reduced by 5,000 places. And 3,000 seats will be blocked when they host Czech Republic the following month. The sanctions come after incidents at previous qualifiers against Kosovo and the Czechs.
