Zapping Foot National Interview – The underside of amateur football, with Romain Molina
Where and under what conditions will the return leg be held? After winning in Budapest (Hungary) on Thursday for the first leg (4-1), the Blues must host Israel on November 14 as part of the Nations League (8:45 p.m.). And while the meeting seemed on course to be held, as initially planned, at the Stade de France and with the public, it could ultimately be relocated.
Easier to secure
As reported by the daily L’Équipe, a preparatory meeting was held this Friday, October 11, during which a change of stadium was discussed. This meeting between French and Israelis, sensitive due to the armed conflict in the Middle East, could ultimately be held at the Parc des Princes, but still with spectators. An alternative that would respond to a security issue regarding the worrying geopolitical situation. The enclosure located at Porte de Saint-Cloud would thus be considered by the authorities as easier to secure than that based in Saint-Denis. In all cases, whether it takes place at the Parc or at the Stade de France, the match will be subject to extremely high security. The final decision should be known during the coming week.
To summarize
