Protesters carried Palestinian flags and banners reading “Stop whitewashing with sports, boycott genocide” and “Zionism is Nazism, Gaza is Auschwitz,” chanting slogans such as “Boycott Israel,” “Murderer Israel,” “Free Palestine,” and “Death to the Israeli occupation forces.”
The France-Israel game was delayed by about two and a half hours due to rain.
Police later moved the protesters to an area adjacent to the stadium, allowing spectators to enter.
Protesters also addressed fans heading into the match, saying: “There are baby killers inside. By going to the game, you are supporting them.”
