This weekend, the last two matches of the football World Cup will take place in Doha (Qatar). Two meetings that will be very popular in France. The Haute-Garonne prefecture is setting up a system to ensure the maintenance of order.
The World Cup in Qatar is coming to an end. Saturday, December 17 at 4:00 p.m. Paris time, Croatia face Morocco, who are vying for third place. Sunday, at the same time, the Blues will play the long-awaited World Cup final against the Argentines carried by Leo Messi.
Two sporting events that many football fans have planned to attend. For those who have not made the trip to Qatar, cities offer to broadcast the matches on giant screens.
Still others might be tempted to meet in bars to watch the matches. It is precisely to prevent the influx of supporters into the streets of the Haute-Garonne department that the prefecture issues an order to regulate traffic, smoke bombs and the use of fireworks.
In order to “prevent traffic congestion in the city center of Toulouse“, he is “strongly recommended” to favor the use of public transport and in particular the metro, recommends the prefecture of Haute-Garonne.
According to his estimates, underground traffic should be heavy from 1:00 p.m. Saturday, December 17 and from 3:00 p.m. Sunday, December 18.
As the prefecture reminds us, however, it is “advised to consult the website of Tisseo before taking public transport”. As usual on busy days in public transport, traffic may be disrupted and some bus lines diverted.
Also, as indicated by the prefectural decree, “the transfer, sale, transport and use of dangerous, flammable or chemical products, explosive products, fireworks, smoke bombs and firecrackers of all categories” are strictly prohibited from Saturday December 17, 2022 (00:00 a.m.) and until Monday December 19 (8:00 a.m.) in all municipalities of the Haute-Garonne department. The only exception to this prohibition: a professional reason.
The Haute-Garonne prefecture also oversees the distribution of fuel for the next forty-eight hours. So, “the purchase and retail sale, removal or transport of any fuel, by jerricans, cubitainers, cans, flasks or various containers, with the exception of products specifically intended for supplying individual heating appliances“, are forbidden.
“This prohibition does not apply to pyrotechnic shows duly declared within the regulatory deadlines and fired by pyrotechnicians holding a valid qualification certificate.”, indicates the prefecture.
According to authorities, “the police will be mobilized in number to ensure the smooth running of the evening“A decision that must apply”respecting public order and the values of sport“.
