It’s about an event related to the amateur football team XXXX, which existed until the 2015/2016 season in the XXXX Amateur Football Group.
One of our players was a Syrian named XXXX, who has lived in Bulgaria for a long time and has his own business.
He is passionate about football and with pleasure and on a voluntary basis joined the revival and existence of the team until the 2015/2016 season.
In the second half of the season (in the spring), however, he was systematically insulted and very often fouled by opposing teams.
In addition, at almost every game we played (especially as guests), he was insulted on ethnic and racial grounds by the public. The public in this level of Bulgarian football is mostly local people waiting for such sporting events to show contempt towards others, especially towards foreigners and minorities.
We had to change our player several times in order to finish the match.
