Dubai: Embracing the true spirit of the month of Ramadan, the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) has announced the distribution of complimentary special Iftar boxes for fasting spectators during the remaining matches of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in Dubai. This initiative aims to enhance the experience of fans observing the holy month while enjoying the thrilling cricket action.
The holy month of Ramadan is set to begin this weekend, coinciding with the highly anticipated Group A clash between New Zealand and India on Sunday, March 2, at the Dubai International Stadium. This match will mark the first game of the tournament to be played during Ramadan, a sacred period of fasting, reflection, and community for Muslims worldwide.
The complimentary Iftar boxes will be distributed to spectators in all non-hospitality enclosures of the stadium just before the break of fast (Iftar) time. This thoughtful initiative underscores the ECB’s commitment to inclusivity and respect for cultural and religious practices, ensuring that fasting fans can enjoy the matches without compromising their traditions.
Cricket enthusiasts and families attending the matches during Ramadan can look forward to a seamless and enriching experience, blending the excitement of international cricket with the cherished values of the holy month. The ECB’s move has been widely applauded by fans and community members, highlighting the unifying power of sports and cultural harmony.
As the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 continues, this initiative is set to create a memorable experience for spectators, fostering a sense of togetherness and celebration during this special time of the year.
