Belgian Soccer Team Honors Brussels Bombing Victims With Special Tribute Jersey

Before a friendly match against Portugal on Tuesday, the Belgian national soccer team honored the victims of the Brussels attacks with a special tribute, donning jerseys bearing a message of remembrance:

On March 22, three bombs ripped through Brussels, two at the airport and one at Maalbeek metro station, killing 32 victims and injuring more than 300.

The Belgian soccer team said it stood “united” with the victims of the attacks.

Belgium lost 2-1 to Portugal. The match, initially slated to take place in Brussels, was moved to Leiria in central Portugal over security concerns.

According to The Associated Press, Portugal's president and prime minister were both in attendance at the game as “a show of support for the Belgian people.”

Members of the Belgian soccer team have spoken out before in support of the victims of the Brussels bombings. In the aftermath of the attacks, team captain Vincent Kompany reminded Belgians to “act with dignity” and “reject hate.”
