Adnan Siddiqui shares disappointing experience at National Stadium

The anticipation for the Champions Trophy 2025 was at its peak, but for certain fans, including actor Adnan Siddiqui, the experience at Karachi’s National Stadium turned frustrating owing to obstructed views from the seating.

The highly awaited opening game between Pakistan and New Zealand attracted a huge attendance, with cricket enthusiasts eager to witness the action in person.

Celebrities were also part of the crowd, among whom was Adnan Siddiqui, who came out to support the home team. However, rather than enjoying the match, he found himself questioning the arrangements at the stadium.

The actor posted a brief video on Instagram from the VIP section, highlighting the unsatisfactory viewing conditions.

“Assalamualaikum, friends! I’m here at the stadium. Now, explain this to me: if we pay for such an expensive ticket and there’s a pole obstructing the view, plus this huge shade in front, what are we really able to see?” he questioned.

“Want to hear something even more amusing? The field is positioned so far away that it feels as if I’m watching the match from Dubai!” he added.

It wasn’t only Adnan who felt let down. Supporters throughout the stadium were already devastated by Pakistan’s 60-run loss to New Zealand, but their frustration grew when they realized that, despite the stadium's renovation, the arrangements were still lacking.

For many, it was an evening filled with shattered dreams, both in the game and in the stands.
