the Blues should face Israel at the Stade de France and with the public

The League of Nations meeting between France and Israel scheduled for November 14 should take place at the Stade de France as planned with an enclosure open to the public. Ouest France revealed this Saturday that a meeting was held on Friday at the Ministry of the Interior, validating the system.

This decision comes despite the risks linked to the tense geopolitical situation in Israel with its neighboring countries and the fact that the poster will be held the day after November 13, the date on which tributes to the victims of the attack at the Bataclan in 2015 will be held. .

The FFF wanted to remain at the Stade de France

Other options had been mentioned such as setting up a closed session or relocating the match to another stadium, such as the Parc des Princes. This solution for maintaining the Stade de France was favored by the French Football Federation (linked by an agreement with the Stade de France consortium) which should be able to count on ticket revenue with 80,000 seats available for sale.

Because according to the daily, the number of tickets should not be limited. It will also be the big return of Didier Deschamps’ men to Saint-Denis after having been forced to leave their favorite venue due to the preparation of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Belgium had relocated the meeting

France is therefore betting on maintaining its position while Belgium opted for relocation. The Nations League match won by the Red Devils (3-1) on September 6 took place in Hungary (at the Nagyerdei Stadion), a country which has hosted Israel’s home matches for several months, such as the one against the Bleus last Wednesday (4-1 victory for France in Budapest).
