Police will impose tough disciplinary measures on soccer fans found carrying banned items to the upcoming AFF Cup final match at Bung Karno stadium in Jakarta on Wednesday.

Items banned from the second round of the Asean Football Federation (AFF) Cup final match between Indonesia and Malaysia include sharp weapons, firecrackers and lasers, Jakarta Police Chief Insp. Gen. Sutarman said Tuesday.

Sutarman also said that anyone found carrying dangerous items would be punished and removed from the stadium, kompas.com reported Monday.

Police reminded supporters to remain orderly and not to play tricks such as pointing lasers at players.

“If we win we will be grateful. We have to be proud if our team wins, but we should win justly. If we lose, we still have to play fair. We don’t have to point any lasers at players. That would be unfair, and the world will reprimand us for it,” Sutarman said.
