While the Israeli authorities have advised their nationals not to attend the football match against France this Thursday evening in Saint-Denis, in addition to the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron, several political figures will also be present at the Stade de France.
A match under high tension. On the eve of the Nations League meeting between France and Israel (this Thursday at 8:45 p.m.), several political figures followed in the footsteps of Emmanuel Macron and announced that they will attend the football match at the Stade de France.
Due to an international context which crystallizes numerous tensions originating from the Middle East, barely 20,000 spectators are expected to go to the venue located in Saint-Denis to attend the Nations League meeting between France and Israel.
Nicolas Sarkozy and Michel Barnier present
Nevertheless, faced with the doubts emanating from the political class, in particular rebellious France having requested the cancellation of the match, the Head of State wanted to be reassuring, affirming that he would be present in the stadium for the encounter.
According to information from Le Parisien, he will be accompanied by one of his predecessors in the person of Nicolas Sarkozy. Prime Minister Michel Barnier will also be alongside Emmanuel Macron.
A large police force will also be deployed to ensure security in the stadium but also in the surrounding areas, according to Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau.
