Paris - Arab Today
More than 5,000 French police will be deployed at key venues in and around Paris ahead of the Euro 2016 football final between France and Portugal.
Officials say the police will patrol the Stade de France stadium as well as the Fan Zone near the Eiffel Tower and the Champs Elysees boulevard.
But there will be no victory parade if France win, the officials warned.
French officials say about 1,900 police officers will patrol the Fan Zone, while another 3,400 will be deployed at the Champs Elysees - some of them will be moved from the stadium, just north of Paris, after the final kicks off at 21:00 local time (19:00 GMT).
"We have the extremely favourable ratio of one officer for fewer than 50 spectators. So it is an extremely high standard," the BBC quoted Mathias Vicherat, the Paris mayor's chief of staff as saying.
But officials have said that there will be no victory parade on the Champs Elysees in the event of a French win because of security concerns.
