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 least one of the men shot dead in the incident in Brussels on Monday was wearing a Swedish soccer jersey.
Martin Fredman, head of security for the Swedish soccer federation, said Tuesday that fans making trips abroad will be advised not to wear the blue-and-yellow attire associated with the country’s sports teams. It remained unclear whether the Belgium-Sweden match would be completed at a later date. UEFA said it was too early to make any decision.
As Belgium woke up in a state of shock, many schools remained closed for the day as a terror alert for Brussels was raised overnight to 4, the country’s top scale. The alert level in the city and the country was reduced to 3 after the suspect was killed by police, Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said.
“Frustrated, confused, scared. I think everyone was quite scared,” said Caroline Lochs, a fan from Antwerp.
