Secretary of State Marco Rubio has publicly addressed concerns regarding the safety of the NFL’s upcoming game in Paris, France, as the country experiences widespread rioting. In comments made to OutKick and Fox News Digital, Rubio stated that he is not concerned about the safety of the players, coaching staff, or fans traveling to the event.

Rubio emphasized that the U.S. embassy in France has been monitoring the situation and has indicated that the event is expected to proceed without incident. According to the Secretary of State, there is currently no intelligence or specific indication that the game or its attendees are being targeted by the ongoing civil unrest. The NFL has not yet issued a formal statement regarding potential security adjustments in response to the protests, but Rubio’s remarks serve as the primary government assurance regarding the viability of the event.

The situation in France involves broad civil disturbances, though the specific impact on the stadium area or the logistics of the NFL game remains limited in public reporting. Rubio’s comments appear intended to reassure the public and the league that the diplomatic assessment of the environment remains stable enough to host a large-scale international sporting event.
