UEFA have announced that Belgium's Euro 2024 qualifier against Sweden will not be replayed. The game was abandoned at half-time after shooting in Brussels. The two teams were locked at 1-1 when the match was abandoned for security reasons.
UEFA have now ruled that the half-time score will be 'confirmed as final' and each team will be awarded a point. 'Each team is awarded one point, with the Group F standings to be updated accordingly. 'Any suspension is considered served and single yellow cards remain valid. 'To take the mentioned decision, the Executive Committee took note that it had proved impossible to play the remaining part of the match on the following day.
'Both the Royal Belgian Football Association and the Swedish Football Association, given the circumstances, explicitly expressed their desire not to play the remaining match time and to consider the result at the half-time interval as final. '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.
