Public safety officials in England, France, and Spain have decided to enhance security for upcoming Champions League matches due to threats from ISIS-affiliated groups. This response comes after calls for violent attacks on the games were made.
The quarterfinal games of Europe's premier soccer competition feature renowned clubs like Real Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich. Security concerns have led authorities to take proactive measures to ensure the safety of players and spectators.
Security has been bolstered at stadiums in Madrid, London, and Paris after ISIS-linked threats were reported online, prompting a rise in Spain's terrorist alert level. Measures include increased police presence and heightened surveillance during the matches.
The threat posed by ISIS-related groups has led to a 'substantial' terrorism threat level in the U.K., indicating a likely attack scenario. Authorities, such as the Metropolitan Police in London, have established robust security plans to safeguard events like the Arsenal-Bayern Munich match.
