French soccer fans have gathered in Munich’s central Marienplatz square to sing songs and party before their team’s opening European Championship game against Germany.
The supporters have been singing “anyone who isn’t singing is a German,” several renditions of France’s national anthem and other songs while jumping and waving French flags.
They were being watching by small groups of police making sure that the supporters maintained hygiene measures against the coronavirus. But none of the fans were wearing masks or social distancing.
About 14,000 fans will be allowed into the stadium for the Euro 2020 match.
