Over 600 people were expected to attend Thursday's sports gala, which was to be led by TV presenter Jessica Almenäs.
We will pay tribute to the athletes later, but right now we need to focus on telling about the mass shooting and its consequences in Örebro, says Anders Nilsson to NA.
At least eleven people were killed in Tuesday's mass shooting at Campus Risbergska, which is the center for municipal adult education in Örebro, and several people are being treated in hospital for gunshot wounds.
When Allsvenskan football team Degerfors and Division 1 team Örebro Syrianska meet in a training match on Wednesday evening, the players from both teams will wear mourning bands to honor the victims.
We will play with mourning bands and a minute of silence before the match, says Degerfors communications manager Timmie Falk to Nerikes Allehanda (NA).
On Wednesday morning, the clubs held a meeting where a decision was made to play the training match at Stora Valla in Degerfors.
We have been in contact with Örebro Syrianska and they are also set to play, says Timmie Falk to NA.
On Tuesday evening, Superettan club Örebro SK wrote on their Instagram account next to a picture of Örebro Castle: "A heavy day in our Örebro. Our thoughts go to the affected and their relatives".
SHL club Örebro Hockey also posted a picture of the castle along with a heart emoji.
