European football's governing body Uefa says Sweden will not have to replay their Euro 2024 qualifier against Belgium after it was abandoned amid a terror alert.
Sweden's match against Belgium, abandoned on Monday amid a terror alert in Brussels, will not have to be replayed, Uefa has ruled.European football's governing body said the result at the half-time interval was "confirmed as final"."Any suspension is considered served and single yellow cards remain valid."
Monday's game started while the gunman was still at large because Belgian authorities and police considered the stadium - 5km from the location of the shooting - "the safest place". Speaking after the game, Sweden captain and Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof said there was "no reason" to replay the game as Belgium have qualified for next summer's Euro 2024 tournament and Sweden can no longer do so.
"The result of this match does not impact the qualification of Group F since Belgium is already mathematically qualified to the UEFA EURO 2024 final tournament and Sweden is mathematically eliminated.
