Football trembles for Euro2016. “The threat level is high. There is the risk behind closed doors” – La Gazzetta dello Sport

the alarm is loud from November 13, the day when the Stade de France felt the explosion caused by one of the Paris attacks that caused 131 deaths. Football is not immune from terrorist attacks, indeed, precisely what happened that night, with the attempt to get inside the stadium, has reiterated once again that sports events are at risk. So, after the massacre in Brussels, there are fears for the European to be held in France from June 10 to July 10 and is the same Interior Minister transalpine, Bernard Cazeneuve, to sound the alarm: “Today’s attacks us tragically reminiscent of the high level of threat that we face – said the output of the Committee on the safety of the competition – we can not continually increase what is already a very high level by the attacks of January 2015 (those of Charlie Hebdo, editor’s note). “



security – the UEFA tries to calm tempers, as far as possible and reiterates its commitment to safety: “following the events of today in Brussels, we intend to reaffirm its commitment to put safety at the heart of organizational plans for Euro 2016, “he announced the European football’s governing body.

pine – the alarm, however, remains, and confirm it is Giancarlo Abete, former president and current vice-president of the Football Federation UEFA: “the risk is behind closed doors, but the Europeans will do – told Radio 24 – the issue of safety is primary for us all, the sporting event is placed in a residual size than the subject of security to all citizens. for every sporting event there is a title for the heads of public order that goes beyond those who are the ownership and responsibility of the sporting event organizers. the risk behind closed doors may always exist because we are talking about a competition in which the event is to take place. there are no games postponed to another date, in a tournament is affected by the fact that the specific dates they are functional to the final outcome of the tournament. it seems to me that today the priorities are different, we speak of events that have already had a negative impact on the tournament. There is a greater perception of risk, less enthusiasm to participate with a positive spirit. But let’s talk about a tournament scheduled for June but now we are talking of an emergency these hours. “The match with Belgium increases the apprehension of the Italian fans:” We have to try each one to do their business. We as sports leaders must continue to work with confidence and concern. Realizing that they are battles that are won only by maintaining a positive spirit. “

guarantee – On the same wavelength also Noel Graet Spruce , president of the French Football Federation: “the European is not in danger, the safety will be exemplary – he told L’Equipe – And the Stade de France will be completely safe for the ‘friendly France-Russia on 29 March. People can come to the game, which will be played. We can never talk about zero risk, but the safety device in force counting on specialists of the highest level, is quite extraordinary. There is a strong will of the State, the French Football Federation and UEFA that all is done in the best possible way: in France are expected to more than 2 million people. “
