Belgium’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Sweden came to a tragic halt on Monday after two people were shot dead in Brussels, an incident now being treated as an act of terrorism.
Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, according to several news outlets, including the National News, confirmed that the victims were Swedish citizens.
The decision to abandon the game at the King Baudouin Stadium was made after the shootings, and a statement from the Belgian national team expressed solidarity, saying, “Due to the incidents in Brussels earlier tonight, play is suspended. Our thoughts are with all those affected.”
