BANGKOK, Feb. 3 (Xinhua) -- Security will be tighten up and local fans have been urged to remain calm during the ASEAN Football Championship final match between Thailand and Singapore to be held on Sunday in Bangkok, according to English newspaper Bangkok Post Saturday

Security will be tighten up in the stadium during the match day, with 600 police officers presence and soldiers from the First Region Army, owing to a spat between the two national teams on a controversial penalty at an earlier match in Singapore, the newspaper said.

Plainclothes police will also be in place to ensure security for  organizers, match referees and players of both teams, Bangkok's Metropolitan Police Commissioner Viroj Chantharangsi said, adding that special protection will be provided for the Singaporean players as they requested.

Fans will be searched with bomb scanners and metal detectors. Objects that could be used as weapons such as bottles, cans and lighters will not be allowed to be carried by them, Viroj said, warning we "don't allow politics to get involved in sports."
