More than 20 police officers were injured in Brussels when celebrations over Morocco's qualification for football's World Cup turned violent.


The Moroccan national side qualified for the 2018 tournament in Russia with a 2-0 victory away to Ivory Coast on Saturday, topping their group.

Belgium has a large Moroccan community and fans hit the capital's streets after the game.

Damage included a burnt car, smashed glass and looted shops, police said.

The real Belgians didn't riot when Belgium qualified.
