Bulgaria and England have both been charged by Uefa over incidents which occurred during Monday night's Euro 2020 qualifier in Sofia.
England won the match 6-0, though the result itself was of little importance in the context of the sickening racist abuse England players received from sections of the home crowd on repeated occasions.
Uefa has confirmed that the Bulgarian Football Union (BFU) has been charged following home supporters' "racist behaviour", "throwing of objects" and "disruption of national anthem" during the qualifier.
Meanwhile, the English FA has been charged with "insufficient number of travelling stewards" and "disruption of national anthem".
According to Uefa's statement, the case will be dealt with by the governing body's control, ethics and disciplinary body, with the date of the meeting yet to be confirmed.
An FA spokesperson said: "We acknowledge the charges but will not be commenting further as it is an ongoing process."
Monkey chants and Nazi salutes punctuated the match at the Vasil Levski National Stadium, with the game and was halted twice as England players received abhorrent abuse.
The first step of UEFA's protocol implemented in the 28th minute as an announcement was made on the public address system, and there was another pause in play as half-time approached following more racist behaviour.
Play resumed after widespread discussion and the departure of a group of individuals in the home end, and England - 4-0 up by half-time despite the abuse - showed character to play on and score two more goals in the second half.
On Tuesday, Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin urged the "football family" to "wage war on the racists" following the abuse suffered by England's players in Bulgaria.
Ceferin blamed a rise in nationalism across Europe for fuelling racism at matches and said the governing body was committed to eradicating the "disease" from football.
Shortly after Ceferin's statement, the BFU announced the resignation of its president Borislav Mihailov.
Explaining the decision, the BFU said the current position was detrimental to Bulgarian football but suggested Mihailov could assist the governing body in a different capacity.
