Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy intends to attend the match between France and Israel. The meeting of the teams in the 5th round of the group stage of the Nations League will take place on Thursday at the Stade de France. It was reported that the Paris police would strengthen security measures at the match in connection with an earlier attack on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in the Netherlands.
I wanted to go there to support this initiative and the decision of the government and the president to hold the match, despite all the threats.
France is a republic. We are glad to see the Israeli team here. Therefore, I will be at the stadium along with thousands of French people to show that we must never give in to those who want to spread terror. To retreat means to come to terms with the unacceptable. Therefore, holding the match is a justified decision, and I will be very glad to be in the stands.
I will be at the stadium, happy to support the French team and applaud the Israeli team, ” Sarkozy said.
