A heavy police presence is expected in Paris as France prepares to host Israel in a Nations League soccer match following recent violence in Amsterdam. The French police chief announced that 4,000 police officers and security staff will be deployed around the Stade de France, with an additional 1,500 police on public transport duty.
The heightened security measures come in the wake of violence that erupted in Amsterdam during a Europa League match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv. The incidents involved fans from both teams and were widely condemned as antisemitic.
