MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The FCO also noted that a national state of emergency in France would remain in place until 26 July to cover Euro-2016 tournament period and other significant event, for instance, the Tour de France cycling race.
"During Euro 2016, stadiums, fan zones, venues broadcasting the tournament and transport hubs and links represent potential targets for terrorist attacks. You should be vigilant at all times, especially in areas hosting Euro 2016 events, and follow the advice of local French authorities," the FCO statement said.
On Friday, spokesman for the French Gendarmerie Jean-Francois Brisse told Sputnik that France was ready to guarantee security during the Euro-2016 football championship in light of a present threat.
France is in a state of emergency after 130 people were killed in November in a series of terror attacks in the country.
