Posted November 24, 2015 6:00 am
PARIS (AP) - Paris Saint-Germain has increased security measures for Saturday's home match against Troyes in the wake of the attacks in Paris that killed 130 people and injured hundreds more.
Gates will open two hours before kickoff, which is at 5 p.m. local time. Fans are asked to arrive early to avoid crowds building up outside Parc des Princes and to bring identification papers.
No bags or helmets will be allowed inside, nor can they be stored for collection after the game.
The police security perimeter will be wider than usual and will impact on traffic around the stadium.
Players will not enter via their traditional entrance, where fans normally gather on each side of a red carpet to cheer the players when they get off the team bus.
