As Le Parisien reveals, Friday November 8, the meeting between the Blues and Israel, Thursday November 14 at the Stade de France, will be the subject of an extraordinary security system. 2,500 police officers and gendarmes will be mobilized for this League of Nations match.
A sporting event feared by the Ministry of the Interior. According to information from Parisiana particularly extensive security system will be deployed during the match between the French team and Israel, counting for the League of Nations and scheduled for Thursday, November 14 at the Stade de France. Due to the conflict in the Middle East, following the attacks perpetrated by Hamas on October 7, 2023, 2,500 police officers and gendarmes will be mobilized to deal with possible excesses.
This figure could even be revised upwards after Israeli supporters of Maccabi Tel Aviv were violently attacked in the streets of Amsterdam, after their club's defeat against Ajax (5-0), Thursday November 7. Five people were briefly hospitalized, according to Dutch police, who made 62 arrests. “We must at all costs avoid having the same scenes at home. We will be watched all over the world. It's almost like the Olympics: you can't miss it“, confides a security source to our colleagues.
Only 20,000 spectators expected
To limit potential gatherings of supporters as much as possible, the shops and bars surrounding the square in front of the Dionysian setting have been instructed to lower the curtain in the middle of the afternoon on the day of the match. If 15,000 seats have been taken so far, the attendance should not exceed 20,000 spectators, or only a quarter of the maximum capacity of the stadium. The authorities also fear demonstrations by pro-Palestinian activists before or after the match and the possible excesses that they could generate.
