On November 13, on the occasion of the friendly match between France and Ukraine at the Parc des Princes, the French Football Federation is preparing a commemoration in tribute to the victims of the 2015 attacks. 10 years to the day after the terrorist attacks which left 131 dead and more than 400 injured, including some near the Stade de France during France-Germany, the FFF wishes to symbolically mark this date. The outlines of the ceremony have not yet been decided, but it should be part of a moment of national contemplation.

This would not be a first for the Federation. On November 13, 2021, during France-Kazakhstan, a special protocol had already been put in place: after a Marseillaise sung a cappella by the stands of the Parc des Princes, French and Kazakh players gathered in silence in the central circle. 10 years after the tragedy, the FFF intends once again to pay tribute to the memory of the victims in a setting full of emotion and respect.
