On July 15, 2018, some 600,000 people celebrated the victory of the Blues in the final of the World Cup in Russia on the Champs Elysées.
For the 2022 edition and as the France team faces Argentina in Qatar on Sunday, the authorities have announced that the most famous avenue in the world will be completely pedestrianized for the occasion.
For this final, the Paris police headquarters has provided 2,750 police and gendarmes in the capital.
They were 2,000 last Saturday.
Some 12,800 police and gendarmes will be mobilized on Saturday in France to ensure the security of the festivities surrounding the small final of the World Cup and 14,000 on Sunday for the final, law enforcement officials announced on Friday in Paris.
The device, presented to the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin at the Paris police headquarters, is larger than that deployed for the semi-final won by France against Morocco (10,000 members of the police).
Saturday, as during the semi-final, the Champs-Elysées will nevertheless remain open to traffic.
