Budapest Face Major Security And Transport Test Ahead Of Champions League Final
UEFA Champions League: Hungary is preparing for one of the largest public security and urban transport operations in its recent history ahead of Saturday's UEFA Champions League final between Arsenal and defending champion Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest.
Nearly 4,000 police officers will be deployed across the Hungarian capital, while around 800 flight movements, some 100,000 visiting fans, expanded public transport services and intensified traffic control measures are expected as the city braces for what authorities have described as a "high-risk event," reports Xinhua.
Speaking at a joint press conference, Hungary's deputy national police chief Zoltan Janos Kuczik said supporters of PSG and Arsenal had each purchased more than 17,000 tickets for the final. Police estimate that tens of thousands more fans are expected to travel to Budapest without tickets.
