UEFA said on Thursday the result of the European Championship qualifying game between Belgium and Sweden, which was stopped this week after two Swedish fans were killed before kickoff, will stand. Both the Belgian and Swedish federations had asked to keep it as the final result. “The Belgian and Swedish Football Federations are satisfied with the decision,” said the Belgian federation in a statement.
Worried, but relieved, spectators at the Belgium-Sweden Euro 2024 match left the Brussels stadium shortly before midnight after being held there for two-and-a-half hours following the killing of two Swedes in a nearby attack, with the gunman still at large.The Swedish supporters were the last to leave the King Baudouin Stadium, where some 35,000 fans of the two teams had turned out for the Euro 2024 qualifier.
