November 11 – The France-Israel Nations League fixture on Thursday will go ahead as planned, confirmed French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau, despite last week's violence in Amsterdam at the Europa League match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Paris will deploy 4,000 police officers to ensure security.

Around 2,500 police officers will be deployed in and around the Stade de France, north of Paris, with 1,500 police officers stationed in the city and on public transportation.
