The European football headquarters sent an official letter to the Bulgarian Football Union, recommending that the qualification for Euro 2024 between Bulgaria and Hungary, scheduled for November 16, be moved to the “Hristo Botev” stadium in Plovdiv. The reason for this is the high risk assessment after analysis by UEFA’s security and safety department.
Due to signals of imminent mass riots and the serious danger to public order, the headquarters’ experts requested formal opinions from the Bulgarian Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Metropolitan Directorate of Internal Affairs and the Bulgarian Football Union, and after additional communication with the Hungarian Football Federation, the decision was reached by the European qualification to be held on November 16, Thursday, at 19:00, at the “Hristo Botev” stadium in Plovdiv, behind closed doors.
