Monday night's Euro 2024 qualifier between Belgium and Sweden was abandoned at the end of the first half. The reason was the murder of two Swedish fans in the Belgian capital of Brussels.
According to what the international media write, Sweden's players informed UEFA during the first half break that they did not want to play the second half. The Belgian team agreed and about half an hour later the match was declared closed.
The first half of the game ended with the score 1-1.
Belgium is qualified for the European, while Sweden no longer has hopes of being part of it.
The shooting happened before kick-off, however it remains unclear if the victims were on their way to watch the match at the stadium.
The federal prosecutor's office confirmed that they were treating the incident as terrorism. The Belgian Prime Minister, while confirming that the victims were Swedish, announced the elevation to the highest levels of the terrorist threat.
While the Belgian media Sudinfo reported that the ISIS terrorist group took responsibility for the event.
