The Premier League has confirmed that the French national anthem, "La Marseillaise," will be played before all matches this weekend as a mark of respect for the 129 people who lost their lives in Friday's terror attacks on Paris.
The idea was discussed at a meeting of club officials on Wednesday, with the decision to play the anthem announced on Thursday afternoon.
A Premier League statement said: "The French national anthem, "La Marseillaise," will be played ahead of all this weekend's matches as an act of remembrance and solidarity with France after the Paris attacks."
The league's executive chairman, Richard Scudamore, said: "We were all saddened and deeply shocked by the events in Paris last Friday.
"The fact it was an attack on people enjoying their everyday freedoms like going to a bar, a concert or a football match resonates with football fans and the general public throughout the UK."
The decision follows England and France fans joining together to sing the anthem at Tuesday's friendly international at Wembley to remember those who died.
There are 72 French players in the Premier League, and reports said the idea of playing "La Marseillaise" had been popular with a number of clubs.
The Premier League is also expected to detail new security measures that fans can expect at matches after Friday's attacks, one of which targeted France's game with Germany at the Stade de France.
Two other friendly matches -- Belgium-Spain and Germany-Netherlands -- were called off on Tuesday due to fears of terrorist attacks.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said on Thursday that trying "to get on with life" was the best response to the ongoing threat of terrorism.
Wenger was in Paris on Friday and had been set to attend the match, but a last-minute change of plans meant he watched the game on television from his hotel.
The 64-year-old was also at Wembley on Tuesday night when England hosted France.
Asked for his reflections on the events when addressing the media ahead of Saturday's Premier League match against West Brom, he said: "I was late for my appointment [on Friday], so I was late to the stadium and I decided to watch the game in the hotel where I was. I was more under shock than fearful.
"Everybody who was in Paris on Friday night was in shock. France is like England -- a tolerant and generous country.
"A way for us is just to get on with life and to respond in a positive way to the situation. It is more a way of life that is being targeted than any individual community."
Wenger praised the way football had united behind his country, saying: "It is a nice gesture of solidarity. It was fantastic for France and it showed the class of England to see the arch of Wembley in French colours."
But he expressed concerns the terror attacks could "create some tensions which could damage a tolerant and multi-cultural society."
There has already been debate about whether the Euro 2016 tournament in France should go ahead as planned next summer, but Wenger said: "I feel the country can provide.
"One of the good things out of what happened now is that the security level will be raised and maybe the Euro 2016 will be more secure."
