**Dubai, UAE –** The Dubai International Cricket Stadium will host the highly anticipated final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on March 9th, 2025, a match-up between India and New Zealand. The state-of-the-art venue, opened in 2009, boasts a seating capacity of 25,000 (expandable to 30,000) and features a unique “Ring of Fire” lighting system ensuring optimal viewing conditions.
