The supporters in Baku: “A relief that this is still there”

After the terrorist attack in Brussels on October 16, where the Swedes Kent Persson and Patrick Lundström were shot to death and Pelle was seriously injured shortly before the European Championship qualifying match Belgium-Sweden, around fifty blue and yellow supporters chose to travel to the next match.

Despite the fact that it lacked sporting significance, despite the fact that it was played in Azerbaijan and despite the security situation for Swedes abroad.

– We are a bit hidden away, but there is a feeling of liberation and relief that this is still there. It wasn’t taken away from us, says Claes Durgé.
