Belgium-Sweden Euro qualifier abandoned after shooting in Brussels

The Euro 2024 qualifier between Belgium and Sweden was abandoned at half-time after two Swedes were shot dead in Brussels earlier Monday.

Belgium raised its terror alert to the highest level as a man in a video on social media claimed he was the assailant and that he was from the Islamic State group.

"Following a suspected terrorist attack in Brussels this evening, it has been decided after consultation with the two teams and the local police authorities, that the UEFA EURO 2024 qualifying match between Belgium and Sweden is abandoned," UEFA said in a statement on its website.
