The French police were more concerned with terror attacks at Euro 2016 and it appears they have taken their eye off the ball with regard to containing fan violence with no officers intervening during last night's fighting inside the Stade Velodrome in Marseille.

The French government has now announced an alcohol ban in "sensitive areas" around Euro 2016 matches.

The interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve said: "Several prefects have already imposed restrictions on the sale, transportation, and consumption of alcohol."

He condemned the events in Marseille as unacceptable and said the police enforcement system which was in place had been "properly-sized".

"The events that occurred last night in Marseille are unacceptable. Unacceptable to the government, socially unacceptable, unacceptable for football lovers," he said.

"We witnessed violence between fans, caused by alcoholic hordes who have engaged in unacceptable abuses.

"The law and order system in place in Marseille yesterday was properly-sized. It was reactive and helped restore calm in an hour and a half, separating the highly alcoholic protagonists."
