England vs. France friendly at Wembley will go ahead - French federation

England and France will go ahead with Tuesday's friendly match at Wembley despite the Paris terror attacks on Friday, the French Football Federation (FFF) has said.

France declared a national state of emergency after at least 120 people were killed in multiple acts of violence, including shootings at restaurants and a hostage-taking at a music theatre in Paris.

Three people were killed in explosions outside the Stade de France, where France beat Germany 2-0 in a friendly on Friday night.

The explosions were part of a series of terror attacks, French authorities said.

The FFF later said in a statement: "FFF president Noel Le Graet confirmed on Saturday that the match between England and France scheduled for Tuesday November 17 (8 p.m. local time) at Wembley will still take place."

A statement from the Football Association said "the thoughts of everyone at the FA, our manager Roy Hodgson, his players and our supporters" were with the French people.

The statement added: "The FFF made it clear that they still wish to play against us on Tuesday night at Wembley Stadium.

"In solidarity with the FFF, we fully respect and support this decision for the fixture to go ahead."

English football's governing body said it had "liaised extensively with, and taken advice from the government and the relevant authorities, who are also in support of the decision to fulfil the fixture."

FA chairman Greg Dyke said Tuesday's match would provide the opportunity " to pay our respects to all affected and also to express our solidarity with the people of France."

All sporting events due to be staged in Paris this weekend have been postponed, with Coupe de France ties at Entente SSG, Versailles, Bretigny and Mantes among the fixtures and events to be called off.
