The best photo of the month for the Sports category is a picture of Viktor Gyökeres of Sweden during their game against Belgium in the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying, captured by Joel Marklund. The match was stopped from the halftime and later canceled due to the fatal shooting incident in Brussels on Monday evening, which resulted in the loss of two Swedish lives.
