Armenian national team files complaint to FIFA

The national football squad of Bulgaria could be punished for the conduct of their fans.
During Tuesday’s match between the national teams of Armenia and Bulgaria, the latter’s fans had shouted “gypsies” at the Armenian fans, sportal.bg informs, referring to Meridian Mach.
According to the source, Armenia’s national squad already filed a complaint to the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA). Also, the Armenian side appealed the two red cards which the game referee had shown to Marcos Pizzelli and Gevorg Ghazaryan.  

If FIFA determines that the Bulgarian fans’ conduct can be characterized as racism, the Bulgarian national squad could play two matches in empty stadium.
