Belgium shirts to sport message against Brussels terror attacks

Belgium will join with Portugal for the national anthem and will add a message to its shirts against the Brussels terror attacks.

Marc Wilmots has confirmed Belgium will have a message in relation to the terrorist attacks in Brussels on March 22 on the team's shirts for Tuesday's match against Portugal.

The fixture was initially scheduled to take place at the King Baudouin Stadium in the Belgian capital but was canceled after bomb attacks on the city's airport and metro system left at least 31 people dead and 270 more injured.

Portuguese officials subsequently offered to host the match in Leiria, a move that was agreed to despite the Belgium coach's desire for the match to go ahead in Brussels.
