After Paris: See How England Prepares Wembley Stadium

Peter Terry who is the Metropolitan Police officer, has explained the increased security ahead of the match between England and France.
According to him, armed police will patrol Wembley during the friendly match against France just four days after Paris massacre.

Despite the terror alarm, the French Football Federation and English Football Association have decided to go ahead with the game in London.


More than 70,000 supporters are expected to be present at the match.


We’ve re-assessed what security we think we need for the occasion, which will of course be a fairly sombre occasion considering who we’re playing.

We’ve assessed what happened in France and we’ve changed what the appearance of the security will look like tomorrow.

People travelling to and from the ground will see additional police officers at transport modes, they will see additional police officers on the walk up Olympic Way to the stadium,”Terry said.

In and around the stadium they will see armed officers, which is something they wouldn’t normally see.

I won’t say that’s the first time it’s been deployed at a football match, but you will see officers out on foot carrying firearms tomorrow night..
