At Stad-France Stadium in Saint-Deni during the League of Nations match between France and Israeli national teams, a clash broke out between fans of both teams. The incident happened shortly after the start of the game, which started at 20:45 local time. The first conflict arose in the performance of the Israeli hymn when the tribunes were heard from the stands. In response, the Israeli fans began to chant "Release the hostages!", Which exacerbated the situation.
In the northern tribune, where the French fans were, fights soon began. According to eyewitnesses, about 50 people took part in the fights.
Due to recent anti -Semitic incidents in Amsterdam, the match was held under increased security measures. More than 4,000 police officers and security workers were present at the stadium, and another 1,500 people patrolled areas near public transport to ensure order. Despite all the measures, the conflict was not avoided, which emphasizes the tense situation against the background of recent events in Europe.
