The match will be played in Sofia. The match was originally scheduled to take place on March 26, but due to the coronavirus pandemic it was postponed, just like the entire Euro 2020. If successful, the national team will face the winner of the match between Iceland and Romania on October 12. Bulgaria would host this possible match as well.
