French President Emmanuel Macron has raised concerns over the security of the Olympics opening ceremony amid fears of a potential ISIS attack.

Macron suggested that the ceremony, initially planned along the River Seine, could be scaled back or relocated to the national stadium as a precautionary measure.

The move follows recent threats made by ISIS against sporting events in London, Madrid, and Paris. France has heightened its security threat level after a terror attack in Moscow claimed by ISIS-K.

Despite initial plans for a grandiose ceremony, Macron acknowledged the possibility of implementing contingency plans, including a potential move to the Stade de France.

He also expressed determination to maintain an Olympic truce during the Games, despite security concerns, the U.S. Sun has reported.

Additionally, crowd sizes for the ceremony have been reduced, and tourists won’t have free access due to security worries.

The heightened alert comes amid escalating threats from ISIS across Europe, with France deploying elite anti-terrorism units for sporting events and Germany uncovering terror plots targeting upcoming tournaments.
