The Prefect of Police, Laurent Nunez, confirmed in a press release that the France-Israel match would take place at the Stade de France on Thursday, November 14, 2024. The League of Nations meeting will be open to the public, as indicated on Monday by RMC Sport.
The France-Israel match will take place under “usual conditions”, with the public, on November 14 at the Stade de France, confirmed the Prefect of Police, Laurent Nunez, this Tuesday. The most sensitive match of the year will welcome many spectators, as has already been the strong trend in recent days, even if other voices raised the possibility of a closed session or a relocation to the Parc des Princes at leaving a security meeting at the Interior Ministry on Friday. What we revealed the day before on RMC Sport.
The evolution of the conflict carefully examined by the authorities
This was the wish of Philippe Diallo, the president of the French Football Federation (FFF). The organization of the match remains “extremely sensitive”, however, recalled Laurent Nunez again Monday evening, speaking to France Info, in a context of war in the Middle East, and an intensification of strikes by the Israeli army against positions of Lebanese Hezbollah. Developments in the international situation will be closely observed in the coming weeks.
In any case, the meeting will be subject to reinforced security measures on standby and on the day of the match. Elite units will be mobilized to ensure the safety of spectators. The Stade de France, which has 80,000 seats, with a large flow of people to manage, will represent a real challenge for the mobilized police and gendarmes. Depending on the resources available in law enforcement, the security organization of this match classified as very high risk by the specialized services could also evolve until the last minute. If the threat is too great, the authorities also have the option of making it compulsory to hold this meeting behind closed doors.
