Original Flair Sport Fußballtrainingsjacke Bulgarien

Qualifying for the 2012 European Championship was a new low, with Bulgaria finishing fifth and last in its group. For the 2014 World Cup, Bulgaria was in second place behind unapproachable Italy two games before the end, defeats in the last two games against Armenia and the Czech Republic eventually resulted in fourth place in its group. Also for the European Championship of 2016, there was no longer a fourth place, the team soon played no significant role after a bad start. The low point was a 1-1 draw at home to Malta, after which coach and ex-player Lubushav Penev was fired. Bulgaria was in the running for a long time to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, partly due to surprising victories over the Netherlands (2-0, which led to the resignation of national coach Danny Blind) and Sweden (3-2). However, all away games were lost and after a home defeat against France, the team was permanently eliminated. Qualifying ended in the first point in an away game, 1-1 against Luxembourg.
