While the French team must face the eleven of Israel on Thursday November 14, the specter of the security fiasco at the Stade de France, during the final of the 2022 Champions League, resurfaces. A few days after the violence in Amsterdam against Israeli supporters, internal security specialist Mathieu Zagrodzki looks back on the lessons learned from the latest failure, as well as the success of the Paris 2024 Olympics.
How to secure the upcoming match, Thursday, at the Stade de France, between the Blues and the Israel team? This is the question that occupies the minds of all leaders, a few days after the violent clashes that occurred in Amsterdam on the sidelines of the meeting between the local club and Maccabi Tel Aviv. Especially since the name of the Stade de France remains associated with a huge fiasco: the Champions League final between Liverpool and Réal Madrid, on May 28, 2022. Panic movements, massive use of tear gas, violence with groups of delinquents on the sidelines of the stadium… the scandal that followed generated reports from various institutions, from the Senate to UEFA, but were the lessons learned before the meeting on Thursday, November 14?
