Stade de France ‘not ready’ to provide safety to supporters at Euro 2016

Security arrangements at the Stade de France are “not ready” to ensure the safety of spectators at Euro 2016, local politicians have warned, less than three weeks before the tournament.

Saturday’s Coupe de France final between Paris St Germain and Marseille was played amid new measures put in place since last November’s terrorist attacks on Paris, including a new perimeter wall and an extra layer of checks on fans entering the ground.

Despite that, fans were able to set off pyrotechnics during the match and the post-match presentations while glass bottles were also taken into the ground, according to Seine-Saint-Denis prefect Philippe Galli.
