Publish at: March 10 2025

Dubai, 10 March 2025: The Emirates Cricket Board has thanked the UAE government and the various security and transport authorities for their outstanding work during the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, Dubai matches. 

 

The tournament concluded last night at the Dubai International Stadium with India lifting the trophy in front of a capacity 25,000 crowd. Despite the short turn around time, the ECB in close collaboration with the International Cricket Council and the event hosts’ Pakistan Cricket Board succeeded in delivering a memorable tournament with India taking on Bangladesh, Pakistan, New Zealand (twice) and Australia in their five games including Sunday’s exhilarating final. 

 

The ECB praised the UAE government, security and transport authorities for their all-out support in the smooth delivery of the tournament, as well as the cricket fans for their great response to all five matches hosted at the Dubai International Stadium. 

 

ECB Chief Operating Officer Subhan Ahmad: “The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Dubai matches were an overwhelming success. The icing on the cake for us at the Emirates Cricket Board was the packed stadium last night which was thoroughly entertained by an enthralling final contested between the two best teams of the tournament. The fans were incredible in their support of all five tournament matches that were hosted at the Dubai International Stadium and their passion for the game adds immense value to the sport. 

 

“The ECB once again stepped up when it mattered and has added another major event to its legacy of hosting coveted ICC events. The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was the third ICC world event to be hosted in the UAE in less than four years. As always, the UAE government, security and transport authorities were at the forefront and worked tirelessly with us in the smooth execution and delivery of the tournament, we are grateful for their support.

 

“The ICC, PCB and the ECB worked closely to make the event a success in a short span of time through the efforts of fully committed venue team and the ECB staff that worked with great passion and commitment in the leadup and during the tournament.”
