UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying Group A
Group A of UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying was one of the ten groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 2020 finals tournament. Group A consisted of five teams: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, England, Kosovo and Montenegro, where they played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format.
The top two teams, England and Czech Republic qualified directly for the finals. Unlike previous editions, the participants of the play-offs were not decided based on results from the qualifying group stage, but instead based on their performance in the 2018–19 UEFA Nations League.
On 14 October 2019, during the [|Bulgaria v England match], there was racist behaviour from a group of Bulgarian fans. This included Nazi salutes, monkey chants and racist booing. The behaviour was widely condemned by the public and various groups, including the anti-racist football campaign Kick It Out. The next day, Prime Minister of Bulgaria Boyko Borisov called for Bulgarian Football Union president Borislav Mikhailov to resign following the racist incident. Mikhailov resigned a few hours later.
