Bulgarian fans have been accused of aiming monkey chants at Denmark’s black defender Patrick Mtiliga during Friday’s 1-1 World Cup draw between the two sides.
“I didn’t hear anything during the match. I only heard about it when I got back to the dressing room,” said Mtiliga.
“It’s disgusting that such things are still going on. I have been told that the FIFA delegate at the match has noted the incident and that measures will be taken,” added Mtiliga, who plays his club soccer for Danish champions Nordsjaelland.
Friday’s incidents came just a month after Armenia players complained of chants of “gypsies” being aimed at them during a World Cup qualifier that Bulgaria won 1-0.
