Dubai Police have announced strong security precautions for the blockbuster Asia Cup 2025 final between India and Pakistan on Sunday, September 28. The bitter rivals are set to face off for the third time in the ongoing continental championship.
The Dubai Events Security Committee announced the protocols on the eve of the match. Violations of the requirements will result in rigorous legal action, as the organisers have underlined the need of maintaining peace during adrenaline-fueled events like this one.
Authorities have issued a strict ban on fireworks and flares, and spectators have been instructed to collaborate with security staff at the location by arriving on time. Parking and traffic instructions have been issued, and safety and order appear to be the top priorities for the authorities, especially given that tickets for the iconic encounter have sold out and a massive attendance is anticipated.
The Men in Blue have never met Pakistan in the final of the Asia Cup before.
They emerged victorious on both occasions earlier in the tournament as the Suryakumar Yadav-led unit chased down the successful in chasing down the totals set by the opposition.
