As the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 kicks off with the exciting opening match between Pakistan and New Zealand at the National Stadium in Karachi, fans are being urged to adhere to entry requirements and restrictions to ensure a smooth experience.
To enter the stadium, spectators must present both their original national identity card and a physical copy of their match ticket. Online tickets or digital copies will not be accepted, so fans should ensure they have their physical tickets ready before arriving. For those who booked online, tickets can be collected from designated TCS centres prior to the event.

Several items are prohibited inside the stadium, including power banks, AirPods, betel nuts, and any food or drinks. Fans are reminded that the stadium gates will open three hours before the match, and early arrival is encouraged as thorough security checks will be conducted at all entrance points.
Due to anticipated traffic congestion, particularly on Sir Shah Suleman Road, spectators are advised to seek alternative routes. VIPs and vehicles with special passes will enter through Gate No 8, while general ticket holders can access the venue via gates 04, 05, 06, 12, 13, or 14. Parking has been allocated at the National Coaching Centre and China Ground for those arriving from Karsaz Road, while spectators coming from Millennium and New Town areas can also park in the same lots.
Fans are urged to follow these guidelines closely and enjoy the much-anticipated opening match in Karachi.
