At the Paris stadium Stade de France, security measures have been significantly intensified ahead of the UEFA Nations League group stage match between France and Israel, according to RMC Sport.
Due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, there is an increased risk of clashes between fans during the match. French authorities have decided to install metal spike fences at the stadium, and the first s🍎even rows of seats will be covered with tarpaulin to create a “buffer zone” and make it more difficult for fans to invade the pitch.
Approximately 4,000 police officers and 1𒈔,600 stewards have been mobilized for the event. Several notable politicians are expected t🌱o attend the game, including current French President Emmanuel Macron, as well as Michel Barnier, François Hollande, and Nicolas Sarkozy.
The match is scheduled to take💛 place today, November 14. The stadium has a capacity of 80,000 spectators, but only around 20,000 tickets have been sold.
