Tensions are rising as the scheduled France-Israel football match on November 14 at the Stade de France faces significant backlash.

Pro-Palestinian activists, part of the "Stop Genocide" group, recently staged a protest at the French Football Federation's headquarters, demanding the match's cancellation.

They argue that hosting Israel amid ongoing conflicts in Gaza is inappropriate.

The protestors, numbering around forty, displayed banners and chanted songs, emphasizing their stance against the match.

Meanwhile, the debate has also reached media platforms, with heated discussions on shows like "Touche pas à mon poste!" where opinions are divided on whether sports should intersect with political issues.

Despite the controversy, the match is set to proceed under heightened security measures, reflecting the broader tensions surrounding international sports events in politically sensitive contexts.
