Capacity crowd & additional security measures to be expected at National Stadium
Singapore, 23 July 2017 – In view of the expected capacity crowd, enhanced entry screening measures similar to the National Day Parade 2016 will be implemented around the National Stadium for the upcoming International Champions Cup Singapore (ICC SG). To facilitate entry into the venue, patrons are recommended to check the gate numbers on their tickets before coming to the Singapore Sports Hub and proceed to the correct security check point (see table below).

As the large crowd is expected to significantly increase the time taken to gain entry into the venue, the Singapore Sports Hub strongly advise patrons coming for the match on the following:
- Arrive at the National Stadium at least one hour before kick-off
- Bring only what is needed to facilitate security checks
- Avoid bringing bags for quicker clearance
Security check points will open at 5.30pm and gates will open at 6pm (approximately 1.5 hours before kick-off). The 100PLUS Promenade encircling the National Stadium will be inaccessible to non-ticketholders from 5.15pm onwards. There will be a “No Bags Lane” at each security check point for quicker entry and as per the usual conditions of entry, bags exceeding 35cm x 20cm x 30cm, air horns, loud hailers, large banners and selfie sticks are not allowed into the National Stadium. The full conditions of entry for events at the National Stadium can be found here: http://www.sportshub.com.sg/Documents/Conditions-of-Entry/NST-COE.pdf.
Additional security measures have been implemented at the Singapore Sports Hub since June 2017, in compliance with current licensing requirements for events, and will continue to be in place for all other events at the Singapore Sports Hub.
The Singapore Sports Hub seeks the public’s understanding for the enhanced security measures, in the interest of everyone’s safety
