The Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) and Belgium's Prime Minister Alexander De Croo were present to lay wreaths, together with relatives of the victims and representatives of the Belgian government and the City of Brussels.
It's incredibly sad in every possible way, said Kristersson to the media gathering.
At the same time, it's very nice to meet the family of one of those who were killed, and talk to them about how their lives look now, a year later. Everyone knows that time doesn't heal all wounds, but time gives a little distance and perspective.
Two Swedish men were killed and a third was injured when the Islamist perpetrator opened fire on them before the European Championship qualifying match. The man – who was later shot dead by the police the day after they tried to arrest him – was a 45-year-old Tunisian who had been denied asylum.
Actually, it doesn't matter if it was a terrorist attack or not. He was murdered by someone who was sick in the head, says son Emil Lundström.
He has received a Swedish football jersey with all the national team players' signatures on it and has traveled to Brussels to participate in the memorial service for his father and friend Kent Persson.
It was just a feeling that I needed to come here, that's why we came. To honor my father, this is for him.
Corrected: In an earlier version, there was an incorrect statement about Lundström's clothing.
