As France prepares to face Ukraine in a crucial World Cup qualifier, the national football team is taking a moment to honor the victims of the 2015 Paris terror attacks, which occurred a decade ago. On November 13, 2015, a series of coordinated attacks in Paris, including near the Stade de France during a friendly match between France and Germany, claimed 130 lives. The Bataclan concert hall, where the US band Eagles of Death Metal was performing, was the site of the deadliest incident, while one person died near the stadium in Saint-Denis due to suicide bombings. Despite the chaos, the match continued, with France securing a 2-0 victory. France captain Kylian Mbappe emphasized the significance of the anniversary, stating, ‘We wanted to remember all those who have lost loved ones, who have been affected, hurt, whether mentally or physically.’ The team aims to pay tribute to the victims during the match, with a minute of silence planned before kickoff. Coach Didier Deschamps acknowledged the emotional weight of the occasion, noting, ‘There is an obligation to remember what happened, but there is a football match to be played too.’ A win against Ukraine would secure France’s qualification for next year’s World Cup with one game remaining.
