Sweden fans spend night under police protection after the Brussels attack
Sweden's Euro 2024 qualifier against Belgium was abandoned at half-time for security reasons.
An evacuation of the King Baudouin Stadium began at about 22:45 BST, with the last fans and staff leaving at 03:00 (04:00 local time).
The Sweden players have flown home and will return to their clubs.
On Tuesday morning, police in Brussels shot the attacker dead.
Speaking at a news conference on Tuesday, Belgium Prime Minister Alexander de Croo called the killings "a harrowing act of terrorism".
The Swedish Football Association (SvFF) said it received news of the killings just before the match, but it started as planned because Belgian authorities and police considered the stadium - 5km (three miles) from the location of the shooting - "the safest place".
Players and officials were told at half-time, with the score 1-1. Sweden captain and Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof said security put the team "at ease".
