Fans to be banned from drinking alcohol in stadiums at Saudi World Cup
Fifa will not press local government to relax lawsStadium beer sales were also banned at Qatar 2022
Football fans will be banned from drinking alcohol in stadiums at the 2034 World Cup after last week’s controversial award of the tournament to Saudi Arabia.
Fifa has not addressed the alcohol issue publicly but senior sources have told the Guardian there is no question of beer being sold at matches. Unlike in many other Muslim countries alcohol sales remain prohibited even in luxury hotels in Saudi Arabia.
