Following England players were racially abused in a qualifier in Sofia on 31, the prime minister has called to resign.
The game was stopped twice because of racist behaviour by home fans.
Prime minister Boyko Borissov has requested his sports ministry to suspend all relations with the Bulgarian Football Union (BFU),such as financial ones, until Borislav Mihaylov resigns.
England won the qualifier 6-0.
Before the match, BFU president Mihaylov, an former Reading goalkeeper, had complained to Uefa aboutunfair branding after the build-up was overshadowed by fears Englands players might be exposed to misuse.
