Belgium’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Sweden was abandoned at half-time for security reasons after two Swedish people were shot dead in Brussels.
The killings happened in the city before the game. The gunman fled the scene and is still at large.
Prosecutors say they are treating the shooting as terrorism.
Belgian police instructed Sweden fans to stay inside the King Baudouin Stadium for their own safety after the game was stopped.
Uefa said: “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. Further communication will be made in due course.”
The Swedish players told Uefa that they did not want to play the second half and the Belgium team agreed, according to Swedish broadcaster TV6.
It is not yet known whether the victims were in Brussels to watch the Euro 2024 qualifier.
