The ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 will take place in Pakistan and Dubai between 19th February and 9th March 2025 and will be contested by the top eight ranked men’s national teams qualified from the 2023 Cricket World Cup. Pakistan are the defending champions, having won the previous edition in 2017. This tournament has not taken place since 2017, and it will be interesting to see who wins the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025. The defending champions, Pakistan, have been selected as the hosts, but due to some scheduling problems, Dubai will also help Pakistan host the tournament.
Dubai has mainly been added to help host the Indian national cricket team’s games. Due to some problems, they refused to play in Pakistan, and while Pakistan first refused to split the games between themselves and Dubai, they eventually agreed to let India play their games outside of the home country. Therefore, while most matches will take place in Pakistan, India will play their matches in Dubai. This article talks about the venues that have been selected, which stadium will be used, how many matches will be played in which stadium, and what the capacity of the stadium is.
