Bulgaria at the UEFA European Football Championship

As of 2014, Bulgaria 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 from the 2004 edition.
