Anis Sajan, a well-known businessman and philanthropist in Dubai, distributed 700 free Asia Cup tickets among workers, including the much-awaited Pakistan vs India match.
The high-voltage clash between Pakistan and India will take place on September 14 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Tickets for the game have been in huge demand, but many workers in Dubai will now get a chance to watch it live thanks to Sajan’s gesture.
Sajan arranged tickets for workers from South Asian countries such as Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Afghanistan. He also offered free pick-and-drop services so fans can enjoy the matches without worrying about transportation.
“I have always been passionate about cricket and loved watching the stars in action. Now I want workers here in Dubai to experience the same joy. That is why I decided to gift them tickets,” Sajan told a private media outlet.
He said most workers wanted to watch the Pakistan-India clash, so his company held a lucky draw to distribute those tickets fairly.
Several matches of the Asia Cup, including the final, will be played in Dubai. Sajan believes cricket brings people together.
“Whether the workers are from Pakistan or India, they watch the game together, celebrate their team’s win, and then walk back home happily hand in hand. This is the true spirit of the UAE society,” he pointed out.
The high-voltage clash between arch-rivals Pakistan and India will take place on September 14, 2025 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in the UAE.
Pakistan began their Asia Cup 2025 campaign with a 93-run victory over Oman, while India started strong with a nine-wicket win against the UAE.
