This France-Israel will therefore be a match like any other. According to Ouest-France, the Blues match on November 14 will be played at the Stade de France, and with full stands.
Questions arose around this meeting, due to the particularly tense context in the Middle East, and the date of the match, scheduled for the day after the anniversary of the Bataclan. While Israel plays all its home matches in Hungary, Belgium, in September, chose to relocate the reception of the selection led by Eli Dasa.
The Blues will return to the Stade de France
For this France-Israel, the FFF considered relocating the meeting abroad, or to the Parc des Princes, or even a match behind closed doors. But these solutions would have represented a significant shortfall for the Federation.
For all security questions, a meeting took place on Friday October 11 at the Ministry of the Interior, according to Ouest-France, and all the lights are green according to the regional daily. Note that France-Israel will be the first match of the Blues in Saint-Denis since June 19, 2023. For a year, the Stade de France was reserved for the Olympic Games, which led Didier Deschamps and his men to play several meetings in the provinces.
