Just two days before the tournament starts, FIFA announced that alcoholic drinks won’t be sold at World Cup stadiums in Qatar.

Qatar🔥
The funny thing is the Quran nowhere bans alcohol, in facts it praises it and says that alcohol is Allahs handiwork, and it is good for mankind.
Just as expected, Qatar not fulfilling its commitment.
This is cheating… like always …
They made sure that the tickets were booked BEFORE coming out with the bad news. Football culture runs on booze and merry. Classic bait and switch. Haha on the suckers that fell for it!
Maybe they saw an influx in illegally imported and obtained alcohol. Quit pushing your indian narrative that arabs are all bad. Go put a bid in for the WC for India. I doubt anyone would choose India. Too much confidence in areas where they can’t even sustain themselves. Too prideful to understand their own flaws. Not secular at all. Wishes to see all Indians as Hindus etc
Does Cricket culture run on booze? Foh with your skewed ideology
@5 Cricket culture does run on alcohol in places where it is rooted and authentic, such as and including England, Australia, Caribbean and India. No hypocrisy there dude. Welcome to sport fandom. No fans; no sport.
@5 Mate, you invite the whole world and wish to see them behave as Qataris. So much for being hospitable. Jokes on you bro.
@5 Plus, from the rushes it is clear it is Indians who are providing the mass in numbers for the World Cup this time, filling the seats. Screams “inauthenticity” and “fake”.
For crying out loud, you had fans from India, Kerala state specifically, chanting “It’s coming home!”. Not their country; and not their chant. That’s how lame Qatar is; it has to import its football culture as well! Way to shoot your own foot, brother.
Thank you Qatar. We also don’t wanna see any Sodomi introduction in an Islamic territory.
Chip kar
Alcohol is injurious to health, so banning is an absolutely correct decision for the benefit of humanity, lots of love to Qatar
5 times noise pollution is also injurious to health
@Debameet Saha it is noise pollution for satan devils, they will run away when they hear God’s word
Boycott Qatar from India
India can’t boycott Qatar. All their citizens wish to go there for school and work.
@5 I think you are confusing Qatar for the U.S.
Qataris are way too smart to ever build a world class university, infact they don’t even have the technology to extract, store and transport LNG. It’s all western.
Maybe they saw a influx of illegally imported alcohol. When people can’t act right this is what happens. I can’t believe they actually had an alcohol policy in general.
Within the MENA countries of course there is customs and traditions set in place to make sure Alcohol doesn’t affect their society. Let’s not be mad at the organizers instead let’s support their decision to see a brighter Qatar
This is Islamic sharia law worldcup. Welcome all infidels.
Watching the game without a beer..common!! Qatar should have announced it earlier so that people could have saved their money.
The drink habit destroy the soul of men and tends to turn him into beast.. proud to be part of great culture 😇😇.
It’s against human rights
Killing is in your culture though
Its relative bro. Understand it.
Sharia law is a beastly primitive culture.
@Kevin m Sharia law is perfect for beast. lol
Why those comments look like bots for real
Westners love to get drunk, are they here to watxh football or be drunkards
I believe this would qualify as taqiyya?
Ah man these double standards I don’t get it you know you can’t drink alcohol in England until you are 18 years old but in America you can’t drink alcohol until you are 21 years old so when People from England went to England they don’t complain that in England we are allowed to drink then why not here so it’s Qatar man you cannot drink alcohol here so respect the rules of every country.
B.S logic. The drinking rules in U.K and America are well establish and not changed two days before an international event. Qatar’s decision is hypocritical and a broken promise at such short notice. They never should have agreed to the alcohol to begin with if is against their precious religious values.
Qatar you gay bro
Good, no alcohol and night life party especially orgy party
Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Friday that Jack Smith will serve as special counsel to oversee investigations.
RIGHT AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP ANNOUNCED HIS CANDIDACY TO RUN IN 2024 & WHEN THE HOUSE REPUBLICANS ANNOUNCED THEIR INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE BIDEN FAMILY’S BUSINESS DEALINGS..
SORRY ATTORNEY GENERAL BUY IT’S KINDA FISHY..
Will they be served bul Al jamal means camel cola??
if it banned beer a year ago fine but days before the event is outrageous they just want to con people into coming.
可憐的中國
I live in China. Everything is a scam here, from government funding to bank deposits to house buying. Everything is a scam.
Seriously if there is next life, I wish to be born in any other country, except China …
haha omg fml fmd
They should have said this before ticket sales. They kept saying “Qatari hospitality blah blah” “we are considering it” ” fans would be able enjoy alcohol ” blah blah. Now that everyone has made their plans and made their way into the country they are showing the true colour. Hopefully this is the first and last islamic country hosting any world event(but money can buy FIFA for sure)
Never trust Qataris. Lesson learned.
Hope this will be the last Soccer WC in an Arabic country. It’s not their culture, nor do they want it to be. This will be the worst WC in human history.
Well done Qatar!
What of those people who died when building the stadium and the infrastructure in Qatar why didn’t Qatar fight for their lives the way they are fighting for the alcohol not to be sold hypocrites
Do not expect from desert beduins to have some sense in the brain
They should also ban alcohol ads.
most controversial world cup ever 😁!!
Alcohol increases your chances of developing cancer drastically but no warning label is required.
As Polish Cristian I salut Qatar for the Great decision! Alcohol should be banned on every Arline around the world! So we don’t haw to suffer from stupid drunk behaviour! Well done Qatar 👏👏👏👏
Alcohol is very bad thing
Thanks brother
Let us hope that supporters will learn that they can enjoy sports without beer, as in the past they learned without cigarettes.
Eran, Qatari gift to FAFA, no beer!
People will realize how life is good without alcohol 🍺
It’s not that good to be honest…
Congratulations Qatar
Welcome

Good step teken by the Qatar govt appreciated
Qatar government can do what it likes, will Ann Hauser Busch ab inbev survive? definitely, will they hesitate to booze🍺 and cruise 🛳 the Fifa delegates in the future and or sponsor this or other tournaments in majority Muslim countries? I doubt it.
Good decision to Qatar. There are good people too living in this planet. Alchol is injuries to health
100 % Good Decision by Qatar Government
🇮🇳❤🇧🇭
No dirty activities here in Qatar
100 % Good Decision by Qatar Government
India Love and support Qatar
No beer and no human rights.
Gr8 decision, FIFA can absolutely enjoy without alcohol.
Thanks Qatar resisting cultural impact of western countries ❗
Having such U turn in 2 days before the opening is just tell that this country can’t be trusted. Anyway Qatar is not a football nation who is not respecting human rights and got this event by paying off corruptive FIFA representative. I will be boycotting this event.
Fans who have travelled to Qatar as part of a controversial paid-for supporters programme have been told by Qatari authorities that their cash has been cut.
The Fan Leader Network is a scheme run by the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, the Qatari agency responsible for the World Cup. It has recruited supporters from around the globe, offering travel and accommodation and a place at the World Cup opening ceremony in return for enthusiasm and positive social media content. But the Guardian can reveal that a per diem payment for food and drink, upon which some supporters were depending, was cancelled just as fans were packing to travel to the Gulf. The Guardian
Dj, beggar can’t be choosers
There’s no free lunch, after all.
The news was greeted with frustration by the Football Supporters’ Association, which questioned whether the Qataris could now be trusted on their other promises.
“Some fans like a beer at a match and some don’t, but the real issue is the last minute U-turn which speaks to a wider problem – the total lack of communication and clarity from the organising committee towards supporters,” a spokesperson said.
The K’affirs are quick to say “When in Rome do as the Romans” and i have my own Issues with Qatar which is a Petrol Station and Air Base of USA hosting the Largest US Air Base at Al-Udeid but they are correct on this matter with Alcohol.
Great decision
Qatar should at least permit the sale of camel urine at the stadium. Camel urine is unique Arab drink, isn’t it?
Bravo Qatar. One less worries of the drunk English hooligans. Watch sober, mates 😂😂😂.
Go the Three Lions.
FIFA, beer agreement must have been made willingly and voluntarily ….. In other words, it must not have been coerced or obtained by a FIFA l under duress.
They didn’t mention that the alcohol rules don’t apply to VIPs who have a ticket price over 19k.
mr. saurav, if u fight for ur right u don’t go all the way in one big step, u do it small steps to day the may allowed it to VIP, next time no beer for them too. But it is start.. even so I don’t even trust ur story in any case it smart move by Qatar for all of us
@Tulu Kuma TBH, I’ve no problem with alcohol being banned. But I believe the rules should be applied to all of them regardless of whether they are rich or poor. Moreover, they banned alcohol because it’s haram as per their religion. So does it mean you get to bypass their religious law if you pay 19k?
@Saurav Malla banning beer is not only religious rule it is senice it make sense it is just. why u need to drink to watch sports it goes against all things sport. now let even assumed ur story that the VIP get beer. truth. my answer still be that smart move because VIP r the one who make the rules so if they got their beer it would be easier for them to side with Qatar. once this ban becomes successful then it would be internationally banned . Qatari is very small country they r fighting the good war even if they fail they already make history
This is the thought process on the country. The Rich would get everything. The poor would work and die. It’s unbelievable how normal Qataris knows this reality but still do not say anything.
HOW QATAR BOUGHT THE WORLD CUP is must watch video by Johnny Harris….then come back here and you realize how funny is this.
great decesion
Lol both are imposing their culture on each other.
The most boring Cup it is. Sugar Cup 2022
Ban khamr entirely.
Thanks Qatar government for banning alcohol consumption publicly.
Well done 👍🏼
Islam the best
The beer is not a water
you can live without beer good job 🇶🇦🇶🇦🇶🇦
Alcohol/Alcoholism is a serious issue that should be addressed with sobriety!
Brazil’s Lula has taught brazilians how to fill up plastic water bottles with Cachaça ( ultra strong rum Crystal incolor) 😂
don’t implement your own beliefs onto others.
While these stadiums were being built Qatar employed thousands of workers from Philippines. India. NEPAL. PAKISTAN ETC. What this means is that thousands of families were able to feed , educate and improve the lifestyle of their families. The Civil right groups give me a pain in my head with their vertue signalling.
I fear there will be illegal moonshine!
What did you expect from those beduins who know only for tea and camel milk.
In Doha for them perfect weekend is to spend a day in shopping mall,junking on american fast food.
No bars,no nightclubs,no hot women.
They dress their women into a mobile walking tents,covered,only face full of makeup and nose surgeries visible.
Worst world cup ever organised,in the last 100 and following 1000 years
Good
OH NO!!! Now fans have to enjoy football instead of punching each other
Lol good job Qatar world cup hasn’t started and already own goal
Everyone should abide by the law of the land, Alcohol is prohibited in Islam
I mean you can get a bit tipsy at your hotel or bar and go watch the game later , if you want to be drunk during the game. 🤷♂️ No one banned it in hotels and bars , only in the stadiums and in public. And it seems to me that people only focus on alcohol and gay things , its like they are going to a nightclub not a football game , very silly behaviour , and Qatar is not Las Vegas , and even in Vegas there is a lot of police and strict rules.
Hopefully qatar have made so many jails also
It will be interesting to see how many people will get arrested
Alcohol is boring drugs.
Nice qatar..
High ranking officials and executives will still be able to consume alcohol at stadiums. Ordinary football fans are the ones banned from consuming it. Arab hypocrisy in action once again.
Alcohol increases the probability of violence in stadiums, good decision by Qatar 🇶🇦
We have to learn to respect the culture, laws, rules and regulations of the country we visit, the same way we ask visitors and immigrants to respect ours.
Love From Pakistan ❤️🇵🇰
English and Germans…..Dont go to Qatar….theres no beer.. 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺NO NO NO…😱
Migrant Workers dying in Qatar…!!!!!☹️
Good decision ❤❤❤
