Local authorities are closing several metro stations in Brussels.

Lemonnier, Anneessens (Brussels-city) and Etangs Noirs (Molenbeek) metro stations will close from 17:00 on Saturday ahead of the World Cup match between Morocco and Portugal, announced public transport operator STIB.

Such measures were enforced during the match between Morocco and Spain.

Access to other stations will also be closed, particularly at Beekkant, De Brouckère and Bourse.

The move comes after local authorities in Brussels boosted security measures following clashes between riot police and Morocco football fans after Morocco won against Belgium in November.
