Euro 2016 organisers have revealed that anti-drone technology will be deployed for the event this summer following the terrorist attacks in Paris last November.
French authorities are being prepared for the possibility of drones being used to disperse chemical or biological substances over crowd, while no-fly zones will be declared over the 10 host stadiums and training grounds.
No chances are being taken for the tournament – which is being hosted in France between 10 June and 10 July – following the attacks in the capital last year which saw 130 people killed.
During the attacks, three explosions occurred outside the Stade de France – the location for the final of the tournament – when France were playing Germany in an international friendly.
Ziad Khory, Euro 2016 head of security, said the technology can “interfere with and take out drone” and said the plans were a “dissuasive measure that didn’t exist at previous sporting events”.
