Football match security and supporter restrictions

Overview

Authorities in France and Tunisia have implemented various security and logistical measures to manage football supporters and maintain public order.

In late August, officials in Dijon, France, and Radès, Tunisia, announced restrictions regarding upcoming matches. In Dijon, authorities limited visitor capacity for a Ligue 2 match and prohibited parking and pyrotechnics in the city center. In Tunisia, the Ministry of the Interior established traffic restrictions and specific access routes around the Hammadi Agrebi Stadium.

By early September, French authorities shifted focus toward preventing violence through travel bans. In Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain supporters were banned from traveling to the Stade Vélodrome due to club rivalries, though Paris FC fans were permitted to travel. Additionally, the prefecture of the Loire banned Montpellier HSC supporters from traveling to Saint-Étienne, citing a history of violent clashes that previously required police intervention involving tear gas and water cannons.
