The authorities in Dubai are employing strict measures to counter any mishap during or after the India-Pakistan final in the Asia Cup, 2025, which will be played on September 28 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Amidst the rising bilateral tensions due to the Handshake controversy followed by aggressive featuring in the following game, the Dubai Police has prohibited any use of fireworks or flares in the stadium or its vicinity. 

The Dubai Events Security Committee has announced other stringent measures for the blockbuster game as well, and has left no stone unturned to prepare for the match. Violating any of their guidelines will lead to legal action, and the organisers have asked the viewers to strictly comply with all the regulations. 

Apart from fireworks and flares, sharp objects, weapons, toxins and remotely controlled devices are also prohibited from the venue.
