The area around the National Stadium has been designated as a ‘Special Event Area’ where the Police will impose strict security measures to ensure public safety and security. The Police have also demarcated a ‘Special Zone’ within the Special Event Area where enhanced security checks will be conducted. These measures will take effect for the whole of 9 August 2026. The map in Annex A shows the boundary of the Special Event Area and the map in Annex B shows the boundary of the Special Zone. 

Security Restrictions within the Special Event Area

Prohibited Items
The items listed in Annex C are prohibited within the Special Event Area and it is an offence to bring them into this area. The Police will conduct checks on persons within this area and anyone found in possession of the prohibited items may be arrested and will be liable, upon conviction, to a fine of up to $20,000, or to imprisonment of up to 12 months, or both, and the prohibited items will also be seized. The Police will have the powers to refuse entry to, or remove persons from, the Special Event Area, if necessary, if they are found to possess such prohibited items.

No Flying of Unmanned Aircraft (UA)

Unmanned Aircraft (UA), including drones, are prohibited within the Special Event Area. It is an offence to bring or fly any UA into the Special Event Area without a valid permit. It is also an offence to fly any UA outside of the Special Event Area in a manner that disrupts, interferes with, delays or obstructs the conduct of NDP 2026. Persons who commit any of these offences may be arrested and will be liable, upon conviction, to a fine of up to $20,000, or to imprisonment of up to 12 months, or both. The UA(s) will also be seized.

Security Restrictions within the Special Zone

There will be heightened security measures within the Special Zone. The Police will conduct security checks and screening on all persons and vehicles entering, or within the Special Zone. The Police will also have the powers to refuse entry to, or remove persons from, the Special Zone, if necessary.

As part of security checks prior to entering the National Stadium, persons will be required to remove any masks or face coverings temporarily. Signs will be placed along the queue leading up to the security check stations to inform members of the public of this requirement, and officers on-site will also help to inform the public. Those who are uncomfortable with removing their masks or face coverings in the public area may request to do so in a private room, where the security checks can be carried out away from public view.

Advisory

The Police seek the cooperation of members of the public to comply with all orders issued by police officers for NDP 2026. Those who engage in activities that compromise safety and security within the Special Event Area or the Special Zone will be dealt with firmly in accordance with the law.
