While the France-Israel Nations League match will be played at the Stade de France on Thursday, November 14, Israeli supporters will make the trip. Under surveillance.
Despite the hot context, and the violence committed Thursday evening in Amsterdam against Maccabi Tel-Aviv fans, the France-Israel Nations League match will be played at the Stade de France on Thursday, November 14, as well as the confirmed Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau this Friday. It will even be played with visiting supporters.
Reinforced vigilance
At the last count, just under 90 Israel supporters are expected for the meeting, a source close to the matter told RMC Sport. They will be constantly supervised throughout the day by the police. This official trip by Israeli fans does not include all the other French fans of the Israeli selection who may come from Paris or from all over France. Vigilance around this small group will be strong.
As explained by RMC Sport, just under 20,000 tickets were sold for this Nations League match. In the Stade de France, several security measures will be in place, in particular to prevent the pitch from being invaded. Certain areas of the stadium are not available for sale to the general public.
The security system, unveiled by RMC Sport, currently includes 26 UFM (Mobile Force Units), or around 2,500 police officers and gendarmes for this meeting. Not to mention local staff, stewards and transport security. This system was established before Thursday's events in the Netherlands. It could be reinforced again in the coming hours.
