FIFA World Cup 2022 Belgium Riots: Violence broke out in Brussels after Morocco's 2-0 win over Belgium on Sunday (27 November) in the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Qatar. After this, the police used water cannons and fired tear gas shells to disperse the crowd. About a dozen people were detained in Brussels. On the other hand, the rioters set fire to cars, e-scooters on the roads and pelted stones at many vehicles. The police took action after one person was injured in the incident.

Brussels Mayor Philippe Clos urged people not to gather in the city center and said authorities were doing everything possible to restore order on the streets. However, following the police order, train and tram traffic has been disrupted. Close said, 'These people are not fans of the game, they are rioters.' Interior Minister Annelies Verlinden said, 'It is sad to see how a handful of people are making the situation worse.' In the neighboring Netherlands, police said violence broke out in Rotterdam as riot officers tried to stop a football supporter group of about 500 people who pelted stones at police and indulged in arson and vandalism. Two police officers have been injured in the incident. Late Sunday evening, unrest was reported in many cities. According to media reports, there is an atmosphere of unrest in the country's capital Amsterdam and The Hague.

Rioting took place in several places in the Belgian capital with dozens of football fans, some of them wrapped in Moroccan flags. At the same time, to control the people, the police fired water cannons and tear gas shells. Police spokeswoman Ilse Van de Keere said that the situation is currently under control here and precautionary police patrolling continues in the areas where violent clashes took place.
