UEFA must step up and take decisive action to stamp racism out of football. Bulgaria, and any country whose fans racially abuse players at games, must forfeit fixtures, face point deductions and if necessary be expelled from competing.

FIFA want anyone found guilty of racist behaviour at a game to be banned from football for life. They also say if UEFA sanction Bulgaria Football Union for racism, FiFA can extend the punishment so it’s effective worldwide.
