French security forces conducted a controlled explosion outside the Stade de France in Paris just hours before tonight’s European Championships quarter final.
France are due to take on minnows Iceland who unceremoniously dumped England out of the competition earlier this week.
Fans approaching the stadium reported hearing a loud bang and were told by police they could not continue because of the security scare.
Police confirmed they blew open the door of an illegally parked car outside the stadium.
They said the car was parked in an area where it shouldn’t have been.
It is not expected that tonight’s game will be delayed as a result of the security scare.
Police examined the car after forcing their way an and said they did not find anything suspicious in the vehicle.
