Like most of the French team's matches, the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron will be present in the stands against Israel next week despite the risks…
For several weeks already, the League of Nations meeting between the France team and Israel has caused a lot of talk, because of its political side. And while the match is fast approaching, knowing that it will be played next Thursday at the Stade de France, the presence of Emmanuel Macron is now confirmed. According to information from RTL and Le Figaro, the French head of state wants “show his full support for the French team, as he does in every match”.
Emmanuel Macron wants to “send a message of fraternity and solidarity”
According to his entourage, the President of the Republic wishes “send a message of fraternity and solidarity after the intolerable anti-Semitic acts which followed the match in Amsterdam this week”. For information, last week in Amsterdam, on the sidelines of the match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel-Aviv in the Europa League, supporters of the Israeli club were violently attacked by ultras, leaving five injured and around sixty people injured. arrested.
Suffice to say that this match between France and Israel, which already promised to be tense, will therefore be classified as “high risk”. Due to this climate of tension, few seats have found takers for the moment, with only 20,000 tickets sold out of the 80,000 seats available at the Stade de France, while the Israeli authorities have called for people not to go to the match . Despite this small crowd, 4,000 police officers and gendarmes will still be present around this match to avoid excesses. Present at this meeting, Emmanuel Macron therefore hopes that the worst will be avoided for the return of the Blues to the Stade de France, after a long absence due to the Paris Olympic Games.
