The Israel Police have announced extensive traffic arrangements, warning of considerable congestion on roads leading to the stadium. Dozens of police officers, ushers, and security personnel will be deployed around the stadium and on major routes. Stadium gates will open at 6:30 PM. Several streets in the vicinity, including David Elazar-HaEtzel, Sheshet HaYamim-HaEtzel, Yehuda Halevi-Even Ezra, and Reger Boulevard-HaTzadik MiYerushalayim, will be closed to vehicular traffic starting at 6:00 PM. Access to these closed streets will be restricted to authorized vehicles only.

Parking will be permitted along HaTzadik MiYerushalayim Street and from the Concha Square to HaEtzel Street. Parking from the northern entrance off Route 406 will be exclusively for Hapoel Jerusalem fans. Strict security checks will be conducted for all attendees, with prohibitions on alcohol, entry under the influence of alcohol, drones, flares, pyrotechnics, and unapproved cheering equipment. Plainclothes and uniformed officers will also be present to combat ticket scalping. The police emphasized that face coverings, such as ski masks, are forbidden and may result in a 500 shekel fine and a ban from soccer fields. Throwing flares onto the field could lead to the game being stopped, and fans are urged to comply with instructions from police and ushers to maintain order.
