The Bulgarian Football Union have been fined 40,000 euros (£34,000) by UEFA for incidents during the Euro 2012 qualifier against England.
The punishment is related to "discriminatory" chanting by Bulgarian fans and for the lighting and throwing of fireworks during the clash in Sofia, which England won 3-0 on September 2.
A UEFA statement read: "The BFS was facing charges of discriminatory behaviour relating to chanting by home supporters during the Group G game in Sofia on 2 September as well as charges relating to the setting-off and throwing of fireworks.
"An appeal may be lodged against the verdict of the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body within three days of the dispatch of the reasoned decision."
