The biggest cricket rivalry in the world is about to hit its peak tonight — India vs Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 final. For the first time in 41 years, these two giants are clashing in a continental final, and let’s be honest — the hype is off the charts. Tickets are long gone, cinemas across India are screening the match, and fans everywhere are buzzing. But there’s also a serious side to the build-up: Dubai Police have laid down some strict ground rules, and breaking them could cost you big.
Dubai Police Advisory: Rules Every Fan Must Know
If you’re lucky enough to have a ticket for the Dubai International Stadium, here’s the deal:
- Arrive early. Fans are advised to reach at least three hours before the 8 PM IST start.
- One entry only. No re-entry once you step out of the stadium.
- Parking & security. Park only in designated areas and follow instructions from stewards.
Oh, and leave those flags, banners, and firecrackers at home — they’re on the banned list.

What’s Not Allowed Inside the Stadium?
Dubai Police have released a full list of prohibited items. Here’s what not to carry:
- Fireworks, flares, or anything flammable
- Sharp objects, weapons, toxic substances
- Large umbrellas, camera tripods, selfie sticks
- Banners, flags, or signs not officially approved
- Pets, skateboards, scooters, bicycles, glass items
In short — travel light, keep it safe, and don’t bring anything that could spark trouble.
Fines & Jail Time: No Joking Around
This isn’t your regular “don’t bring crackers” announcement. Violating rules comes with some heavy consequences:
- Carrying banned items, pitch invasions, or abusive language = Fine from ₹1.2 lakh to ₹7.24 lakh or up to 3 months in jail.
- Violence, throwing objects, or racist/abusive behavior towards players = Fine between ₹2.41 lakh and ₹7.24 lakh.
Special police units will be on duty to keep things under control. Bottom line? Play by the rules or pay a massive price.
Beyond Cricket: Emotions Running High
This final is about way more than cricket. Political tensions, the Pahalgam terror attack, and heated on-field exchanges have only added fuel to the fire.
- Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav refused to shake hands with Pakistan players earlier in the tournament.
- Pakistani cricketers Sahibzada Farhan and Haris Rauf drew flak for provocative celebrations.
- The ICC even fined Rauf and Yadav for their actions.
All of this has turned Sunday’s showdown into one of the most emotionally charged matches in recent memory.

Final Word
India vs Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 final is history in the making. The cricket will be intense, the atmosphere electric, and the stakes sky-high. But if you’re at the Dubai stadium tonight, remember: follow the rules, cheer responsibly, and enjoy the spectacle.
