Paris on alert, fear of riots like in Brussels for the France-Tunisia match
From the riots in Brussels after the Morocco-Belgium match

Tunisia has 12 players with two passports, of which 10 were born in France. This is the first match since 2008, when the French national anthem was played at the Stade de France.

After Sunday's clashes in Brussels between Moroccans and law enforcement, after Morocco's victory over Belgium, France-Tunisia risks being a very sensitive match. At the moment, the Paris authorities have not foreseen special measures, but they are on alert.

On Wednesday, the Maghreb national team plays the qualification against the 'turkeys', who have already passed the 1/8 stage. It is also about the first duel of an official competition, after several friendlies, including the one in 2008, when the French anthem was played at the 'Stade de France'.

The match against France is a derby for the North Africans, since coach Kadri has gathered 12 players with both passports. Ten of them were born in France and this clearly shows the close relationship that Tunisia has with this country.

A historic report, which has also been consolidated in football with collaborations between federal centers for the training of coaches. Tunisia won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2004 under French coach Roger Lemerre, 4 years after he took France to the top of Europe.

A success that still did not eliminate the storms in 2008, in a friendly match. At that time there were controversies regarding the integration problems of the new French generations of foreign origin, North African in particular.
