Only about 100 Israeli supporters are expected to attend, following advice from their government. French lawmakers have condemned antisemitism in Europe while President Emmanuel Macron plans to attend the match as a show of solidarity. Recent clashes between pro-Palestinian activists and police in Paris highlight the rising tensions surrounding this event.

Given the complexities of European politics and the volatile situation in the Middle East, the atmosphere surrounding the match is charged with emotion, and officials are keen to prevent any disturbances, putting security at the forefront of the upcoming event.
