Paris authorities are taking no chances with this morning's French football international against Israel at Stade de France.

The game comes just days after violence between pro-Israel and pro-Palestine football fans in Amsterdam.

About 4,000 police and 1,600 private security guards will be on patrol, with an elite anti-terror unit providing security detail for the Israeli squad.

But correspondent Vincent McAviney told Ryan Bridge the stadium itself will be mostly empty, with the Israeli Government advising its citizens not to attend.

He says after that guidance, no more than a hundred visiting Israeli fans are expected to turn up, but some local Israelis may attend.
