There's heightened security across the French capital ahead of a football match between France and Israel.

Some 4,0000 police officers are being deployed across the city and around the stadium.

An elite police unit will also be guarding the visiting Israeli team.

The measures come a week after the post-match violence in the Netherlands following a match between the Amsterdam team and Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Parisians are divided about hosting the match in their city.
