The Belgium-Sweden European Championship qualifying match was cancelled due to the terrorist attack in which two Swedish football supporters were shot dead and a third was seriously injured.

The team's players made the decision during the break with the score 1-1.

According to the UEFA rulebook, a match that is suspended must resume the next day. If this is not possible, UEFA will arrange a new date.

Exceptions can be made in "extremely urgent cases". In that case, the host country, in this case Belgium, must guarantee that the match can be played in a – if necessary – different stadium without spectators.

At the moment, it is unclear whether these rules apply in this case. SVT Sport has contacted Uefa but has not yet received a response.

"There are a set of rules and we will have a dialogue with Uefa about the consequences linked to the sporting aspect of the match," says SvFF's general secretary Håkan Sjöstrand.

For Sweden, the European Championship dream was extinguished earlier on Monday evening when Austria defeated Azerbaijan.

Do you think the match should be resumed or replayed?

"Spontaneously, no. And the game in that way, we already know that we couldn't qualify for the European Championships, says Sjöstrand.

At the press conference on Monday evening, Janne Andersson and team captain Victor Nilsson Lindelöf were of the same opinion.

"Belgium are already ready for the European Championships and we can't get there. So I don't see any point in finishing the game," Lindelöf said.

The result of the match could affect whether Belgium finish first or second in the European Championship qualifying group.

Manu Leroy, general secretary of the Belgian Football Federation, told the newspaper Le Soir that they will not pressure Sweden to finish the match.

"We want to show our respect for what has happened. It's important to be big in situations like this, and that's what we're going to be. In a situation like this, ethics and morals must take precedence," he says
