Pakistan Champions Trophy security will be at its highest level as the Federal Cabinet has approved military deployment for the event. The decision, made under Article 245, ensures top-tier security for players, venues, and international visitors. A joint effort between the military, civil armed forces, police, and law enforcement agencies will safeguard the tournament.
Strict Security Measures for International Teams
International teams will start arriving in Pakistan on February 12. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Punjab, and Sindh governments are working closely to provide foolproof security. The Ministry of Interior has issued clear directives to all departments involved in security planning.
Authorities will secure stadiums, hotels, and team routes with military personnel, advanced surveillance systems, and quick-response teams. These measures will ensure smooth operations and the safety of players and fans.
Gaddafi Stadium Renovation Completed
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif inaugurated the renovated Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore just days before the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This historic event marks a new era for Pakistan’s cricketing infrastructure.
The opening ceremony featured performances by Ali Zafar, Arif Lohar, and Aima Baig, along with a drum show and fireworks display. Thousands of cricket fans attended the event, celebrating the country’s return as a major international cricket host.
PM Shehbaz Sharif’s Speech and Cricket Hopes
During his speech, PM Shehbaz praised the renovation team, including PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz. He humorously remarked that “Shehbaz Speed” had been replaced by “Mohsin Speed,” referring to the fast-paced renovation work.
The Prime Minister also praised Pakistan’s cricket team, acknowledging their recent strong performances. He expressed hope for a victorious campaign in the Champions Trophy, especially in a potential match against India.
Ensuring a Safe and Successful Tournament
Pakistan Champions Trophy security remains the top priority, with military and police working together. The deployment of troops and high-tech security measures aims to ensure a smooth and incident-free tournament.
With the renovated stadium, military security, and enthusiastic cricket fans, Pakistan is ready to host the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 successfully. The next few weeks will test how effectively these security measures are enforced.
