A public safety and temporary traffic control notice has been issued for the 2025-2026 Sichuan Provincial Urban Football League match between Dazhou and Zigong. The match is scheduled to take place tomorrow, April 18, 2026, from 19:35 to 22:00 at the Dazhou Sports Center football field.
To ensure public safety and the orderly operation of the event, the Dazhou Public Security Bureau has announced the following control measures, effective from 16:00 to 22:30 on April 18.
The controlled area encompasses the Dazhou Sports Center and its immediate surroundings.

The carrying of flammable and explosive materials, controlled knives, banners, and similar items into the area is strictly forbidden. The use of fireworks and sky lanterns within the temporary security zone is also prohibited.
Should a large crowd gather inside the football stadium, posing a potential risk, public security authorities may suspend the match, implement control measures at the sports center, restrict entry, and guide spectators to evacuate in an orderly manner. Additionally, the unauthorized operation of drones within the temporary security zone is prohibited without approval from airspace management authorities and the on-site security command center. Drones used for event support, emergency rescue, or police operations must apply through the Civil Unmanned Aerial System Comprehensive Management Platform (UOM platform) and report the approval to the Dazhou Public Security Bureau's Public Order Management Unit.
Spectators are urged to adhere to public order and follow the instructions of security personnel. The public is encouraged to use green transportation methods and travel during off-peak hours to alleviate road congestion. Those driving should park in designated areas as directed by traffic police.
Violations of these regulations will be handled by public security authorities according to relevant laws and regulations.
Separately, to ensure orderly and safe traffic flow during the large-scale event, temporary traffic control measures will be implemented on roads around the Dazhou Sports Center, in accordance with Article 39 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China.
Traffic control will be implemented in two phases.

Additional roads, including Fenghuang Avenue and Longquan Road, may see temporary controls depending on traffic and pedestrian flow. During these controls, only public buses, fire trucks, ambulances, police cars, communication vehicles, broadcast vehicles, explosive disposal units, and power emergency vehicles will be permitted entry and parking.
