WCL Season 3 Security Plans Reviewed in Dubai

Dubai’s Events Security Committee (ESC) has reviewed the security and organisational plans for the World Championship of Legends 2026, known as WCL Season 3. The review took place on 2 October 2026, alongside plans for the opening of Global Village and the Dubai 30X30 Fitness Challenge.

Dubai Police and partner agencies attended the meeting so that every team understands its role before the winter events season gets busy. For WCL fans, it is a sign that planning around the tournament is moving forward with the city’s emergency, traffic and security teams already working together.

What the committee said about WCL Season 3

The committee went through the security plans for WCL Season 3 and checked that each agency’s responsibilities fit together. The goal, as the committee described it, is to keep every entity prepared and every effort aligned so the events are delivered safely and successfully.

Brigadier Al Ketbi told members that close cooperation, steady communication and clearly defined roles are what make large events run well. He said this approach has become a key factor in Dubai’s success with major events and strengthens its position as a leading host of large-scale gatherings.

He also asked all agencies to step up their efforts as the winter season begins. The committee meets regularly, and those meetings give members a chance to share observations and recommendations, which the committee uses to refine its plans and improve how it operates.

The Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism also gave members an overview of other events coming up in the emirate.

Brigadier Hisham Nasser Al Suwaidi, Deputy Director of the General Department for Emergency Affairs and Deputy Chairman of the ESC

What this means for WCL fans
