DUBAI: The Dubai Police have announced stringent security measures for the highly anticipated Asia Cup 2025 final between Pakistan and India, scheduled for Sunday at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
In an advisory, authorities urged spectators to arrive at least three hours before the start of play to avoid congestion. Each ticket will allow only a single entry, with no re-entry permitted once a fan exits the venue.
The guidelines include a ban on flammable materials, weapons, laser pointers, fireworks, glass items, tripods, and selfie sticks.
Political banners and unauthorised placards have also been prohibited. Police appealed to fans to cooperate fully with security staff to ensure the contest is enjoyed in a festive yet safe environment.
Meanwhile, organisers confirmed that all 28,000 tickets for the historic clash have sold out, with demand far surpassing previous fixtures.
The group-stage meeting drew 20,000 spectators, while the Super Four encounter saw 17,000 in attendance.
The final, however, marks the first-ever Asia Cup title showdown between the arch-rivals in the tournament’s 41-year history.
Pakistan sealed their place in the decider with a tense 11-run win over Bangladesh on September 25, setting up a third face-off with India in this edition.
India won both earlier matches, though both encounters were marred by controversies.
