The French national football team hosts Israel for the first time since 2004 in a high-stakes Nations League clash on November 14. With a backdrop of geopolitical tension and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the match has drawn significant security measures, with nearly 4,000 police deployed around the Stade de France. Only 20,000 fans are expected, but key figures such as President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Michel Barnier will be attending. France can secure a spot in the Nations League finals with a draw, though they will play without captain Kylian Mbappé and injured player Ousmane Dembélé.
