Breaking news - beer to to be banned in all World Cup stadiums

[Jedi boro]

I bet Budweiser will be loving this new twist

Itt the looks like all the compromises the Qataris promised in their bid are falling short already

Oh dear

FIFA getting the tournament they deserve. If I was Bud I'd be pulling out.

 

[joeydiaz]

Couldn’t get a beer at any of the stadiums at euro 2016 either barring 0% b***ks.

 

[TeaCider]

Wouldn't have minded if they'd banned it from the start, you host something in a Muslim country, you should expect restrictions.

It's just a further indication of the utter farce that is this World Cup that they've u-turned a few days before though.

 

[Capybara]

What's the problem for Budweiser, then?

They’re sponsoring loads of stuff and this puts FIFA in breach of its contract with them. As for the poor buggers who’ve already bought the beer to sell……..

 

[Marvanelli]

All football fans knew this World Cup would be a farce from start to finish.

The moment the bidding began for this years world cup and Qatar were in the running and then won the bid, we knew it was going to be a complete shambles.

FIFA really are ran by a bunch of horrible corrupt thieving scumbags.

 

[LowMoorBoro]

It’s not as though FIFA can do anything but agree to close to their tournament. Serves them right, hope it costs them millions.

 

[Fat_Dragon]

Beers will cost £12 a can at Qatar World Cup and they only serve Budweiser

How much?!

Bit late in the day to make these changes. They have had years to think about this.

 

[Ingleby_Flash]

I have an awful feeling it’s all going to go very wrong. Hope I’m not right.

It tastes like Wetherspoons’ carpets smell.

For those that might not know the Qatari originally said beer co up f be sold inside the stadium as long as it was done in a less prominent way but this new ruling flies in the face of that.

i hope you are right and it shows the Qatari state for what it is. It must be difficult for team USA and their supporters given the saudi links to 911

Depends what you mean by very wrong.

As long as no-one gets hurts, arrested for being themselves etc then I hope it's an utter shambles and turns out to be very much the farce it kind of already is.

 

[Steer]

Let's face it, the location of the WC is a farce and it is only there because of the corrupt way that Fifa was (is?) run. Perhaps when the games start, people will talk about football instead of the many many issues related to this WC.

 

[Jedi boro]

The decision has been made on religious grounds as the authorities think the presence of alcohol will be offensive to those visiting.

I bet that wasn’t in their original bid package

 

[Zoophonic]

Well it is not such big news. At the WC in 2002 in Japan the beer sold in the stadia was 0%.

 

[Fat_Dragon]

A danish reporter in Qatar the other day was told to stop filming by Qatari authorities and he laid into them by saying you invite the world to Qatar why cant we film? They threatened to smash his camera. Idiots
