Bazdarevic calls for UEFA to cancel all friendlies

Bosnia-Herzegovina coach Mehmed Bazdarevic has called on UEFA to cancel all of the upcoming international friendly matches in the wake of the terror attacks in Brussels.

Explosions at Zaventem Airport and Maelbeek metro station in the Belgian capital on Tuesday killed 34 people and injured 136, according to the latest official figures.

"To be honest, it would be the best for all if we don't play against Luxembourg and Switzerland," he told the media. "UEFA, for safety, must postpone all friendlies this and next week.

"Who cares about football after these terrible scenes in Brussels? This is horrible."

UEFA did not enforce the postponement of friendly matches in November in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris, with the French Football Federation (FFF) insisting at the time that France's game with England should proceed as an act of defiance against the perpetrators.
