SOCCER

FRANCE: Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said the huge fan zone set up in the French capital during the European Championship will meet the “highest security standards.”

In the wake of deadly attacks in Paris last November and Brussels this year, Europe is on high alert and authorities are concerned Euro 2016 from June 10-July 10 could be targeted, especially the fan zones where spectators gather to watch games on large screens.

Hidalgo said security inside the 130,000-square meter area – the equivalent of 30 soccer fields – set up in Paris will be enforced at all times by 400 privately hired security agents.
