Three Spanish "ultras" fans have been arrested in the southern city of Nice for carrying neo-Nazi banners and another three for trying to take flares into the stadium ahead of Spain's Euro 2016 match against Turkey, regional police say.
French authorities have been cracking down on more radical fan groups after clashes in Marseille last week marred the start of the month-long European Championship soccer tournament.
Tournament organiser UEFA has also imposed a strict ban on flares at stadiums, although at several games fans have managed to get them in.
