French Authorities Deploy Security for Algeria, Morocco World Cup Matches

French authorities have drawn up a security plan for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The plan gives particular focus to matches featuring Algeria and Morocco. It follows concerns raised after recent violence.

The security measures were drafted in response to disturbances that occurred during Paris Saint‑Germain's second Champions League title. Those incidents highlighted the need for heightened protection at major events.

French officials aim to coordinate police, intelligence and local services for the tournament. Their objective is to prevent similar outbreaks of disorder.

The plan will be implemented across venues where Algeria and Morocco are scheduled to play. Authorities will monitor crowd behavior and deploy additional resources as needed.

Preparations continue as the host nation finalizes stadium assignments and ticketing. The security framework will be reviewed regularly up to the opening match.
