On October 16, 2023, the Swedish national team jersey became a target in Brussels, in connection with the European Championship qualifying match between Belgium and Sweden. On the way to the international match, Patrick Lundström and Kent Persson were shot to death.
After the incident, it was questioned whether Swedish supporters could wear the blue-yellow shirt.
– I went against that right away. I understand people who didn’t want the yellow shirt, but for me it was that I’m not going to back down, says Lisen Altis who was friends with Kent and Patrick.
What has it been like to be a Swedish supporter after the terrorist act in Brussels?
– After what has happened, I have become an ultra supporter just to show them. Don’t come here and come.

“Damn good memory”
At matches, Lisen Altis now always wears a shirt that was printed by the Swedish Football Association when Kent and Patrick were honored at the first home match after the terrorist act. And besides, she will carry the memory of them on her hand forever.
– I did the tattoos in Baku as a tribute to Patrick and Kent. That’s a damn good memory.
