The international friendly match between Spain and Belgium, to be held Tuesday night at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels, was officially canceled amid security threats after the Paris attacks last Friday evening, per Goal.com. Three people died at the Stade de France, where Germany and France were having an exhibition match, when an explosion happened near the entrance.

After speculations that the event would be canceled, the Belgian Football Association released a statement to confirm that the match is not going to happen due to security concerns.

"In consultation with the relevant authorities and the Spanish national team, the Belgian FA has decided to cancel the meeting. At the very end of the evening, the Belgian FA has been contacted by the government that made the recommendation not to organise the match tomorrow night," the statement read.

"This is due to the terror alert level being high and the current search for a suspicious person. We deeply regret that such a friendly match between two motivated teams is cancelled so late and we understand the disappointment of many supporters. Taking into account the exceptional circumstances, we cannot, however, take any security risk for our players and fans."

CNN reported that the Paris attacks killed at least 129 people, with 352 wounded and 99 in serious condition. Three teams of terrorists staged attacked six different locations in Paris including the Stade de France, Bataclan Concert Hall and a couple of restaurants.

At least seven suspects from the attacks are dead with one arrest made in Belgium. A manhunt is underway for Salah Abdeslam, a 26-year-old Brussels-born Muslim who was reportedly stopped by officers after the attacks but was released, per BBC.

The French police named Abdeslam a key suspect and said that he rented a Volkswagen Polo car that was used by the attackers at the Bataclan Concert Hall, where at least 89 people died. He was reportedly stopped near the Belgian border last Saturday along with two other men but was later released after security checks.

His brother Mohammed was arrested in Belgium after returning from France along with seven other suspected terrorists. A third brother killed himself by detonating a bomb outside a bar near Boulevard Voltaire.

Belgium's Prime Minister Charles Michel said in a statement that Belgian authorities are investigating the municipality of Molenbeek. The area is said to have a reputation as a safe place for jihadists and Islamic extremists.

According to CNN, ISIS claimed that they were behind the Paris attacks while France retaliated by launching seven airstrikes at the city of Raqqa, where one of Islamic State's headquarters could be found.
