French Cities Implement Curfews for Under-16s During World Cup Matches After Unrest

Following recent violence during Champions League celebrations, some French cities, including Toulouse, are imposing curfews on individuals under 16 during high-risk World Cup games. This measure aims to prevent public disorder.


The mayor of Toulouse in southwest France has announced a curfew for youths aged under 16 during "high-risk" World Cup matches, following a similar move by authorities in Clermont-Ferrand. It follows widespread anger at the violence that plagued celebrations of PSG's Champions League victory last month.
