Sweden could be FORCED to play the rest of their match against Belgium under UEFA rules - despite their hosts being willing to accept a 1-1 draw and players flying home after two fans were shot dead

Sweden may be forced to complete their abandoned Euro 2024 qualifier against Belgium under UEFA rules despite two supporters being shot dead in a terrorist attack.

Monday night's match at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels was suspended at half-time when news of the tragic incident filtered through.

Swedish supporters were locked inside the stadium until 4am, while the players were taken to the airport under police escort to return home.

Police shot dead the gunman - a 45-year-old Tunisian national named by Belgian media as Abdesalem L - in a café in the Schaerbeek area of the city on Tuesday morning.
