Paris will be under tight police surveillance Sunday and Monday for a key football match for local champions PSG, and France’s national holiday, with both events potentially creating public disturbances, police said. Some 11,500 officers will be deployed in the French capital and surrounding areas for the FIFA Club World Cup final between English side Chelsea and French champions Paris Saint-Germain, which coincides with festivities on the eve of France’s national holiday on Monday, known as Bastille Day, that can degenerate into violence.
