The device is even more important than that deployed Wednesday for the France-Morocco semi-final.
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-Élysées will remain open to traffic. On the other hand, Sunday for the final, they will be completely pedestrianized.
