Berlin // Germany’s international friendly against the Netherlands on Tuesday will go ahead, despite the deadly terror attacks across Paris.
At least 129 people were killed in a series of violent incidents across the French capital on Friday, with several deaths taking place near the Stade de France where the hosts were playing Germany in a friendly international.
The Germans are due to host the Netherlands in Hannover.
The French Football Federation has also decided their friendly against England at London’s Wembley will go ahead.
The fearful Germany squad preferred to spend Friday night at the stadium, the team attempting to grab some sleep on mattresses on the changing room floor, before flying home early Saturday.
Coach Joachim Loew held a telephone conference yesterday with German Football Association (DFB) officials before they decided that the friendly against the Dutch should go ahead.
“This is a very sensitive subject for the team,” said Loew, who described the events of Friday as a “nightmare”.
“Basically, I am of the opinion that we do not yield to terror and terrorists should not be allowed the triumph that we dance to their tune.”

Libya's Gold
UN Panel of Experts found regime secretly sold a fifth of the country's gold reserves.
The panel’s 2017 report followed a trail to West Africa where large sums of cash and gold were hidden by Abdullah Al Senussi, Qaddafi’s former intelligence chief, in 2011.
Cases filled with cash that was said to amount to $560m in 100 dollar notes, that was kept by a group of Libyans in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
A second stash was said to have been held in Accra, Ghana, inside boxes at the local offices of an international human rights organisation based in France.
