The score remained 1-1 in the first half.
The Euro 2024 (2024 European Football Championship) match between Belgium and Sweden, which was suspended due to the Brussels shooting incident that left two people dead, will not be held again.
The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) announced on the 20th, “The result of the match between Belgium and Sweden, which was suspended due to the death of two Swedish fans, will remain the same.”
The incident occurred near Saint-Terrete Square in downtown Brussels, Belgium, on the 17th.
At that time, an unidentified man opened fire, killing two Swedes and seriously wounding another.
In the aftermath of this incident, the Euro qualifying match between Belgium and Sweden held on this day was suspended after only the first half, and ended with a 1-1 score as UEFA decided not to hold a rematch.
The reason the two teams will not be playing again is because the teams that will participate in the Euro 2024 finals have been confirmed regardless of the results.
In Group F, Belgium and Austria secured qualification to the finals, with the second place in the group being awarded. Sweden finished third in the group and was confirmed to be eliminated from the group stage.
The Swedish Football Association also requested UEFA to maintain the 1-1 result without a rematch.
Meanwhile, the Belgian and Swedish professional soccer leagues will hold a moment of silence in memory of the two fans who died before games over the weekend. 슬롯사이트
