BRUSSELS – Fans of Sweden’s soccer teams will be advised against wearing clothing in national colors when they travel abroad in the wake of the killing of two Swedish supporters before a European Championship qualifying match in Belgium.
At a news conference in Stockholm, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said “everything indicates this is a terrorist attack against Sweden and Swedish citizens, just because they are Swedish.” The last of the Swedish supporters – totaling about 650, according to the Swedish soccer federation – left the stadium at about 4 a.m. under police surveillance, along with some staff from the federation.European soccer governing body UEFA said a moment of silence will be observed at all Euro 2024 qualifiers on Tuesday.
The Belgium team said it was “still devastated” by what had happened in a country hit by several extremist attacks in recent years, including suicide bombings in 2016 that killed 32 people and injured hundreds more in the Brussels subway and airport. “Frustrated, confused, scared. I think everyone was quite scared,” said Caroline Lochs, a fan from Antwerp.
