Authorities in Toulouse and Clermont-Ferrand have introduced curfews for individuals under 16 during World Cup matches. This decision comes amid rising concerns over youth violence during high-stakes sporting events.

The mayor of Toulouse announced this measure, which is the first of its kind for the World Cup, following similar actions taken by Clermont-Ferrand. Both cities aim to enhance safety for their young residents.

This initiative reflects a broader effort to prevent disturbances similar to those witnessed during recent Champions League matches, where unrest sparked public outcry.
