UAE bans these items inside stadiums

UAE stadiums are known to host a packed schedule of cricket, football and tennis games throughout the year.

Who doesn't love watching a good game at a stadium? Be it cricket or football, watching the sport live is a bigger thrill than watching it on the telly.

UAE stadiums are known to host a packed schedule of cricket, football and tennis games throughout the year, attracting visitors from across the globe.

The police, to keep the fans safe, releases security updates from time to time.

On Wednesday, the Abu Dhabi police listed on its social media accounts a list of items prohibited inside a stadium.

The list includes laser pens, pets, brass knuckles, medicines, umbrellas, knives, cigarettes, guns, among other items.
The advisory comes after Argentinian fans time and again lit flares during Tuesday's River Plate vs Al Ain semifinal of the Fifa Club World Cup at Hazza bin Zayed Stadium, giving the security personnel a tough time. Al Ain had won the match.

Earlier, fans of Espérance Sportive de Tunis had also lit flares during a match against Al Ain.
