France-Israel match: 2,500 police officers and gendarmes, 1,400 stewards, closed businesses… The authorities are planning an important system before a tense meeting

The Minister of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau, was clear on the subject, the match between France and Israel on November 14 will take place and “we will adapt the security system”.

A measure all the more necessary as violence took place Thursday in Amsterdam after the attack on several Israelis following a Europa League match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel-Aviv.

According to BFMTV, nearly 2,500 police officers and gendarmes will therefore be deployed during the meeting between France and Israel. Our colleagues specify that these numbers do not include those of the Bac, the local police or even railway security agents.

As for stewards, the number has been increased to almost 1,400 staff and the ranks closest to the pitch will be closed to the public to avoid a potential invasion, as well as the car parks under the stadium which will also be closed. .

On the RMC side, we emphasize that all shops, bars and restaurants around the Stade de France will have to close in the afternoon, just before the match.
