In a powerful display of unity, thousands of football fans at King Baudoin Stadium in Brussels, Belgium, showed their unwavering support for the victims of a tragic shooting that occurred just miles away. The Euro qualifier match between Belgium and Sweden came to an abrupt halt at halftime when a gunman fatally shot two Swedish individuals before kickoff. With the suspect still at large and reportedly targeting Swedes, Belgian authorities kept over 35,000 fans inside the stadium for their safety, eventually initiating an evacuation around midnight local time. Captured by @LydieBastin on October 16, 2023, a heartwarming video emerged, illustrating the fans' resilience and solidarity as they chanted slogans in memory of the victims.
