We all know about the fiasco that took place in the T20 World Cup. There was a lot of confusion, stampedes and general chaos. Dubai Police naturally wants to play it safe this time around. That is why they have issued a few warnings and instructions that need to be followed.
The authority reiterated that only bona fide ticket holders will be allowed to enter the stadium and have also shared a list of items that will not be permitted inside the stadium.
They have issued a list of guidelines for fans to follow. Notably, selfie sticks; power banks; political flags and banners; bikes, skateboards and scooters; and filming or flash photography are among the things that are banned at the stadiums.
