Bulgaria risks not participating in Euroleague football matches in 2021 if the national football championship is not played until the end. UEFA wrote this in an explanation to its 55 member states.

Its Vice-President Atanas Furnadzhiev has repeatedly called for concluding the Bulgarian championship and giving the title to Ludogorets FC without completing all matches planned in the tournament.
