UEFA announces Portugal will host Belgium after cancellation in Brussels

A friendly match between Portugal and Belgium that was originally cancelled following Tuesday's deadly terror attacks is still set to be played, with UEFA announcing a venue change Wednesday.

Rather than playing the match in Belgium, Portugal will now host the friendly at the Estadio Dr. Magalhaes Pessoa.

"The Board of Directors of the Belgian FA has, in agreement with the national coach and coaching staff, decided to accept the proposal of the Portuguese Football Federation to play this match in Leiria, on the same day and at the same time," the Belgian FA said in a statement.

"The Belgian FA appreciates the availability, flexibility and solutions offered by the Portuguese Federation. The FPF expresses its full solidarity with the Belgian FA in this tough and emotional period.

The original match, held in Brussels, was cancelled by the Belgian FA, who said in a statement: "For reasons of safety and precaution, the City of Brussels has demanded the Belgian FA to cancel the match Belgium - Portugal on 29 March."

The cancellation came after more than 30 people died and more than 200 were wounded during a series of explosions in the Belgian capital.

This make-up venue allows the two teams to prepare for the upcoming 2016 European Championship hosted in France this summer.
