Bulgaria v Hungary: Visitors say you would not 'organise a holiday in this way' after qualifier moved
- Published
The Hungarian football federation is unhappy with the Bulgarian football union and said you would not "organise a family holiday in this way" after their Euro 2024 qualifier was moved.
Thursday's match was switched on Tuesday from Plovdiv to Sofia.
It follows a decision by the Plovdiv municipality because of construction work at Hristo Botev Stadium.
The HFF said the actions of the BFU are "unprecedented, totally unjustified and grossly unsportsmanlike".
"It is not even possible to organise a family holiday in this way, let alone an international football match with a huge stake, involving millions of people," it added.
Uefa has stepped in and ordered the match to take place behind closed doors at Vasil Levski National Stadium in Sofia.
Hungary lead Group G with 14 points after six matches, and will qualify for next summer's tournament in Germany with a game to spare with a draw, or if Montenegro drop points against Lithuania.
Bulgaria are bottom of the group with two points.
