The Macedonian A national team in their last match in the League of Nations they lost with 0:1 against Bulgaria at the National Arena "Todor Proeski" in Skopje.

Before the start of the match, the Bulgarian national anthem was whistled from start to finish.

The executive director of the Bulgarian Football Federation Borislav Popov stated that Macedonia will receive a sanction from UEFA for booing the national anthem of Bulgaria.

Popov compared this match to the match against England three years ago when Bulgaria was accused of racism.

– At our match, the whistles were much weaker and the delegate described them. The colleagues I talked to, who were at the match with Macedonia, told me that the delegate described them. There is no way to miss such absolutely unacceptable and even hooligan behavior. Three years ago we were fined 10.000 euros – he said Popov for BnТ.
