Belgium-Portugal friendly moves to Leiria

Belgium’s football friendly against Portugal next week has been moved to the Portuguese city of Leiria from Brussels because of the deadly attacks.
The Belgian federation reached agreement with its Portuguese counterpart hours after the Belgians called off the match.
The match is still scheduled for next Tuesday, but not at King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels.
At least 34 people were killed and more than 200 wounded in Tuesday’s bombings at the Brussels airport and subway.
The country is at its highest terrorism alert level, meaning there’s a risk of an imminent attack.
Belgium, one of the favorites to win this summer’s European Championship, has cancelled training for the friendly since the attacks. AP
