France vs. Israel Match Set for Stade de France with Spectators

Authorities confirm the high-risk Nations League game will proceed with public attendance despite geopolitical tensions.

The France-Israel match is scheduled for November 14 at the Stade de France, with final arrangements nearly complete.
Initial discussions considered a closed-door game or relocation due to security concerns from the Middle East conflict.
French Football Federation President Philippe Diallo advocated strongly for hosting the match with spectators, emphasizing sportsmanship and unity.
The decision follows successful security measures during the Paris Olympics, reinforcing confidence in public safety management.
This will mark the French team's return to the Stade de France since June 2023, after renovations for the Olympics.
