Bulgaria at the UEFA European Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As of 2020, Bulgaria have qualified for two UEFA European Championships, in 1996 and 2004. However, they did not survive the first round at any occasion. While Bulgaria achieved a win (and a draw) at the 1996 tournament, they lost all their matches in the 2004 edition.
