Qatar World Cup organisers could ban beer from all 8 stadiums- Report

In a shocking U-turn to Qatar World Cup organisers’ move to allow the sale of beer at all eight stadiums, now hosts are reportedly asking FIFA to stop the sale of the alcoholic drink.

As per the Guardian’s report, the world cup hosts now want to go even further and that discussions are ongoing between Fifa and Budweiser. 

Generally in Qatar, public drunkenness is punishable by hefty fines and jailing. But the head of Qatar’s security operations has said that during the tournament, police will turn a blind eye to most offenses but potentially make arrests if someone gets into a drunken brawl or damages public property.
