The games behind closed doors will continue, much to the dismay of fans.
Roxana Maracineanu, the Minister for Sports, is far from ensuring, this Sunday at the microphone of Europe 1, that the match between France and Ukraine scheduled for March 24 will allow the public to return to the Stade de France.
The French Football Federation (FFF) hoped for a return from the public for this meeting, with a limit of 30% of spectators.
"The (health) situation is complicated, for 20 departments, there will probably be curfews on weekends, there will be difficulties in exercising a practice, we cannot immediately speak of gauge or return of the public in the stadiums, ”says Roxana Maracineanu.

The return of the public to the stadiums, not so simple
“We'll have to wait.
Experiments have been started today in certain cultural and sporting places, and we need to come up with protocols that involve all the new technologies for crisis management possible, continues the Minister.
Gradually, when we can resume, these are the protocols that will apply to professional clubs and when the France team will play.
"
"A very special audience" for the experiments
The experiments for the return of the public in the stadiums are therefore very topical, but the question of the place and the framework of their holding "is not yet decided", indicates Roxana Maracineanu.
"It will be up to Health to draw up the specifications, this is what will interest the health authorities, it will be a very specific audience, it will not be the all-rounder since there are legal and logistical concepts", she specifies.
In the cultural sector, test concerts with audiences in Marseille and Paris are already planned for March and April, if the context allows.
