Meanwhile, Hyderabad Police have been put on high alert due to security concerns. Police tightened security after chaos erupted at an earlier event attended by Messi at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata. Therefore, officials strengthened security near Uppal Stadium ahead of the match.
Only people with valid passes will be allowed to enter the stadium. Police said they have taken precautionary measures to prevent any untoward incidents similar to those reported at Salt Lake Stadium.
Also, traffic restrictions have been imposed in areas surrounding Uppal in view of the match. Police asked the public to cooperate with the restrictions and follow instructions. The Rahul Gandhi Hyderabad visit, combined with the Messi match, has led to heightened security and traffic planning across key routes in the city. Authorities continue to monitor the situation to ensure that all scheduled programmes proceed without disruption.
