CROISSY-SUR-SEINE (France) (Sputnik) — The Russian national team has already played twice at UEFA Euro 2016 underway on June 10-July 10 in France, playing a draw against England (1-1) on Saturday, and losing 1-2 to Slovakia on Wednesday.

French police have boosted security at the Russian team's training facility in the suburbs of Paris without prior notification, deploying two additional cordons and tightening entry requirements for journalists arriving to witness a training session of the Russian national team.

The decision was made on Thursday morning, a police spokesperson told R-Sport without specifying the reasons behind it.

A spokesperson for the Croissy-sur-Seine municipality said later that security measures on the territory of the Russian national team's training field had been strengthened due to the recent case of intrusion into the territory of the arena.

The Russian team will close the group stage of the tournament with a match against Wales on June 20.
