UEFA has confirmed Belgium - Sweden match result as 1-1
UEFA has officially announced the decision on the Euro 2024 qualifying match between Belgium and Sweden, which was stopped after the first half due to the murder of two visiting fans.
UEFA Executive Committee decided today that:
• The match is abandoned and the result at the half-time interval (1-1) is confirmed as final
• 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 (1-1) 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 (together with Austria) and Sweden is mathematically eliminated; the respective fixtures do not allow any date to be used in the upcoming November international window, when the preliminary group stage of the competition must be concluded, to be followed by the play-off draw and final tournament draw.
