“Some are calling for the match to be relocated. I do not accept it: it would amount to abdicating in the face of threats of violence and anti-Semitism. » Faced with the heated context surrounding the Blues’ meeting against Israel, scheduled for next Thursday, Bruno Retailleau reaffirmed his desire to maintain the meeting at the Stade de France this morning. “Don’t back down”this is the message that the Minister of the Interior wanted to convey, the day after the violent clashes on the sidelines of the match between Ajax Amsterdam and Maccabi Tel-Aviv.
If this meeting sounds like the return of the Blues to the Dionysian enclosure, more crowded since June 2023 due to the Olympic Games, it does not necessarily raise the crowds. As indicated Le Figarobetween 15,000 and 20,000 supporters are currently expected to attend this 5th day of the Nations League. A situation which is obviously explained by the context around the meeting, even if an extremely reinforced security system is planned.
