The Bulgarian Football Association (BFS) has revealed the 'Scarf of Respect' as part of an anti-racism initiative following the intolerant behaviour of national team fans when England faced the country as part of their European Qualification campaign back in October.
Three Lions centre-back Tyrone Mings was seen asking the fourth official 'do you hear that?' as players were targeted for racist abuse and 'monkey chants' during the 6-0 clash, with the match having to be halted twice as fans were given verbal warnings over the stadium's tannoy.
In addition, groups of the home side's fans were seen performing Nazi salutes and wearing t-shirts emblazoned with the slogan 'No respect' in response to FIFA's 'Equal game' initiative, which targeted at combating racism.
