PARIS: English FA chief Greg Dyke on Monday raised the alarm over security for England’s next Euro 2016 game after the pitched battles with Russian fans in their first match. Dyke also slammed stadium security Saturday’s game against Russia in Marseille as “unacceptable” in a letter to Europe’s governing body UEFA.
England fans are due to gather in Lille the same day ahead of their country’s next game against Wales on Thursday in the nearby city of Lens.
Dyke said the English FA and British government “will be working hard to positively influence” English fans in Lille. But he added: “We have serious concerns around the security arrangements for the city in the next few days.”
