Fans return for France v Bulgaria Euro warm-up

France will allow 5000 fans into the Stade de France for the Euro 2020 warm up with Bulgaria next Tuesday, a day earlier than the official easing of coronavirus restrictions.

From June 9 the limit for spectators at outside events in France goes up from 1,000 to 5,000, with the 21h00 (1900GMT) curfew extended to 23h00.

But the world champions' friendly has been granted a one day exemption to mark the return of fans to football stadiums in France by the French Sports ministry.

The relaxing of restrictions only applies to fans attending the game.
