LIVE: Fans gather outside Stade de France for Coupe de France final amid fear of protests

Live from Paris on Saturday, April 29, outside the Stade de France as fans gather for the Coupe de France final.

The French Cup is traditionally attended by the incumbent president. Several groups and unions have called to disrupt the event to voice their discontent with French President Emmanuel Macron.

Union members handed out 'red cards' against the government's pension reform in front of the stadium. Earlier in the month, the president signed into law the highly contested reforms, including an increase of the the retirement age from 62 to 64. The motion was forced through without a vote in the National Assembly sparking angry protests across the country.
