The incident occurred when England hosted Bulgaria to qualify for the 2022 European Cup on Saturday (07/09/2019). At that time, The Three Lions managed to tame the visitors with a score of 4-0.
In the first half of the match, one of the Bulgarian supporters got caught saying words about Sterling's racial attack. The action was seen by stadium security guards.

Sterling and several of his teammates, Danny Rose and Callum Hudson-Odoi, were subjected to attacks by supporters of the presenter's singing. Britain also reported racist incidents at the European Football Federation, UEFA.
