Paris: The France-England friendly match scheduled for Tuesday will go ahead despite deadly attacks in Paris that left more than 120 dead on Friday, according to the French football federation. 

"After talks with the English FA who assured us there was no particular risk in holding the match, we decided to go ahead," a federation spokesman told AFP. 

"If British authorities came to re-evaluate the situation, obviously the question of holding the match or not would be addressed."
