Tomorrow night, an anticipated 70,000 football fans are expected to flock to the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil for the Maybank Challenge Cup match between Manchester United and ASEAN All-Stars.
In preparation for the event, security measures will be tightened. ACP Aidil Bolhassan, Cheras District Police Chief, stated that all stadium entrances will open as early as 5:30 pm and thorough security checks will be conducted. Fans are reminded not to bring in prohibited items such as firecrackers, fireworks, flares, helmets, laser pointers, sharp objects, dangerous weapons, alcoholic beverages, umbrellas, walking sticks, power banks, water bottles, ice cubes, lighters, matches, cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, drones, loudspeakers, and drums (without MFL permission).
To ensure smooth traffic flow, the public is advised to utilize public transportation to the National Stadium and avoid passing through the areas surrounding the stadium if they have no business related to the match. Aidil also urged spectators to obey instructions from police officers, exhibit courteous road behavior, and not park vehicles on the roadside, as summonses and towing actions will be taken against obstructing traffic.
Stern action will be taken against any individual or group that causes chaos, riots, or extreme provocation before, during, or after the match.
