UEFA 'very satisfied' with European Championship security operations

UEFA's tournament director says he is "very satisfied" with security operations at Euro 2016 ahead of the last three matches.

Martin Kallen says the security risk level is "still the same as at the beginning [of the tournament]" but that there are "no issues."

The Stade de France, which will host the Euro 2016 final on Sunday, was targeted on Nov. 13, 2015 during a France vs. Germany match when attacks in Paris killed 130 people.

Security has been increased at Euro 2016 as a result, and during the tournament authorities have so far removed suspect packages and conducted a controlled explosion on a car parked near the Stade de France ahead of France's quarterfinal against Iceland.

"This was until now always a false alarm," Kallen said. "We have worked very well together with the French authorities."
