Almost 2,000 known troublemakers will be prevented from travelling to France in the coming weeks, as UK and French authorities attempt to reduce the risk of violence at Euro 2016. Dozens of British police will travel to the various host cities to help act as liaison officers and intelligence gatherers. The French authorities have serious concerns, not just about the potential of fan-related violence, but also about the risk to the tournament from terrorism.
