A major racist scandal has erupted after Levski's match in Europe  - 1

Levski's opponent in the first qualifying round of the Europa League - Hapoel (Beer Sheva), will most likely receive a solid sanction due to racist behavior by their fans during the rematch between the two teams, which took place two days ago in Hungary, Sportal.bg reported.

"Monkey sounds. During the Europa League match against Hapoel Be'er Sheva. In 2025. The same old behavior. And then we talk about progress? This is football for some people. "No to racism," Mustafa Sangare wrote on social media.

Thus the Levski striker confirmed what he heard during the live broadcast. Then, on several occasions, Apoel supporters chanted monkey sounds when some of the "blues" players received the ball. They were mostly directed at Sangare and another reserve - Karl Fabien.

If the duty delegate described the incidents as it should have been, then the minimum punishment for the Israeli team is the closure of the stands and a sanction of over 50,000 leva.
