There will be a heavy police presence after the horrific scenes in Brussels that saw two fans in Sweden shirts shot dead and another injured.
The French government have doubled the number of police at the stadium for France vs Scotland on Tuesday night after a suspected terror attack in Belgium on Monday evening.
Two fans in Sweden shirts were shot dead and a third spectator was injured in a horrific incident the Belgian authorities are treating as a terror incident. Tuesday night's game takes place in Lille, right on the French-Belgian border and just over 100km away from where the incident took place in Brussels. And French cops are doubling their efforts in response.
French interior minister Gerald Darmanin has announced there will be twice as many police at the game as initially planned in addition to reinforcing the military presence at the border. He said: "Following the attack in Brussels, I immediately requested a reinforcement of troops at the border. Furthermore, we will double the number of police and gendarmerie mobilised for the match this evening in Lille.
