Even though the organisers of Euro 2016 characterised the Turkey - Croatia match as a high risk one, fans of both teams proved them wrong.
While the world watched the ugly scenes and confrontations between Russian Ultra hooligans and England fans in Marseille in disbelief so that even UEFA is now threatening to disqualify both teams from the championship if the violence continues, on June 12, 2016, Croatian and Turkish fans reminded everyone what football and sportsmanship are all about. Even though the game itself was classified as a high-risk one by the organisers of Euro 2016, the streets of Paris showed a completely different picture before the game.
Fans of both teams met in the heart of Paris, and while heavy police forces were ready to act in case of any trouble, fans did the only thing no one was expecting, they raced to greet each other and started taking group photos, singing and cheering together.
