The evening passed peacefully for fans celebrating France’s quarter-final win over Morocco. Despite initial concerns about possible unrest, the match’s outcome led to orderly festivities across Paris and its suburbs. A provisional police assessment confirmed that isolated incidents remained minimal throughout the night.

Ten arrests recorded overnight

While most supporters enjoyed the moment responsibly, a small number of incidents were reported. In the capital, a few revelers set off smoke flares, while suburban areas saw isolated fireworks discharges. By early Friday morning, authorities confirmed ten arrests linked to the post-match celebrations in Paris and its outskirts. Three were made for phone theft, four for violent offenses involving weapons and criminal conspiracy, all in Paris, and three for fireworks violations in Seine-Saint-Denis. It remains unclear how many of these cases resulted in immediate custody.

Minor injury reported in Paris altercation

In Paris’s 7th arrondissement, a late-night dispute near Quai Jacques Chirac escalated into a physical confrontation around midnight. One individual sustained a light stab wound to the hip and was rushed to hospital for treatment.

Organizers had anticipated potential disruptions, particularly given the match’s high stakes and late broadcast time. A security bulletin circulated before the game warned of possible public gatherings and pyrotechnic use, regardless of the final score.
