On Sunday September 10, the English press took a dig at the organization around the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône) which hosted the England – Argentina match on Saturday evening.
In front of the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône), Saturday evening September 9, the incomprehension of the supporters is great. Ten minutes before the start of the match between Argentina and England, hundreds of people are still waiting at the counters. Quickly, scenes of jostling appear. To streamline arrivals, an exterior aisle that is normally closed was opened, but it is too late, many have missed the start of the match.
A significant security challenge
In a press release, the International Rugby Federation reacts: “We are working with all parties to understand what happened, and take steps to avoid further delays to upcoming World Cup matches at this stadium.”. Problem of access to the speakers, traffic jams at the ticket office, scenes of chaos reminiscent of the fiasco of the Champions League final at the Stade de France (Seine-Saint-Denis) last year.
