Special envoys to Marseille
The stands at the Vélodrome stadium in Marseille were not full at the time of the anthems of the England-Argentina match, the first poster for Pool D of the Rugby World Cup. This is due to difficult access for supporters to the surroundings of the enclosure.
Images circulating on social media show thousands of fans blocked outside the Vélodrome, a few minutes before kick-off. Information confirmed by witnesses to journalists from Figaro on the spot. Some rows were still sparse after five minutes of play.
All things considered, the scenes are reminiscent of the events that occurred around the Stade de France before the final of the 2022 Champions League football between Liverpool and Real Madrid. Victims of attacks on premises and organizational failures, supporters of Reds Many were unable to access the Saint-Denis compound in time, before being gassed by the police. The kick-off had been delayed.
