FIFA 2022 world cup

but actually alcohol is not completely banned there. even some hotels are still able to serve alcoholic beverages. The important thing is that we don't drink it on the streets. but at the stadium during the 2022 FIFA world cup it will be allowed. as long as the alcohol content is not too strong. in qatar alcohol can only be obtained and enjoyed in special places such as hotels. and for the FIFA world cup this time there is an additional place in the area around the stadium.
so I appreciate the qatar side who can be flexible with the special rules for this 2022 FIFA world cup.

Yeah, that has always been the case in places were alcohol is banned. Hotels and similar places were foreign people go to are usually allowed to sell alcohol.

Also, it's worth noting that some food does contain alcohol, like bread for example. A bread roll can have up to 1.9% of alcohol. This is similar to the content of alcohol from a light beer.

In any case, the world cup is getting closer and it's going to be extremely entertaining.

I think its not a big issue and football can continue even if there is a ban on alcohol and other restrictions. The world must understand that every country has its own values and we must respect those value. Alcohol is ban in Qatar since its an Islamic country but since Qatar has bowed then its good for alcohol lovers.

But before choosing the host country for this year's World Cup, FIFA was aware that tourists/players/commission staff from the countries could not drink alcohol, people who were not married could not have any type of relationship among other Qatar's rules and habits?

Would this kind of condition already be explicit before choosing an Islamic country to host the World Cup?

By the way, I believe the Qatar is the first Islamic country in history to host the World Cup, am I correct?

Of course, FIFA knew what strict rules apply in Qatar, as a Islamic country, regarding the prohibition of alcohol, the prohibition of relations between men and women who are not married, and also that the costs for fans, for travel and accommodation will be huge.
However, FIFA has long been an organization whose main priority is not the fans or the game itself, but profit.
You are right, Karar is the first Islamic country to organize the World Cup in football.

FIFA has never been ideal for fans and the game because now they are billion-Dollar company, and they want to increase their profit which is more important for them and they are doing all things for this as their greediness is not lettings them down but this all is okay and if Qatar or any other Islamic country wants to host event like this then surely they have to do some things for their sponsors as well because these are also very important for them and they are giving them huge funds which are essential for them growth.

Hopefully in near future we will have some more Islamic countries which will try to host this event so just because of this they need to do some better policies which are acceptable for all parties and fans as well which are going to host country for supporting their countries.

Qatar is now going to host the World Cup in their country. They have made some rules for proper observance of that event and it is a Muslim country. So everyone should respect all the rules and regulations to help their organization succeed.

FIFA has heavy sponsors so the careless about their fans all the consider is how much the recover from hosting such world event. FIFA knew about how strict the Islamic laws are held around Qatar. I hope this doesn't turn out a boring world cup with less out of pitch activities outside football there should be other things to spice up the whole world cup tournament

There is no doubt many other activities and celebration ways are available for fans to do in Qatar because I know celebrating in manners are never been ban in Islam and Qatari Authorities surely allow fans and teams for doing things which are in their rules. FIFA is also having some pressure from heavy sponsors because they spend millions of USD's every year for the publicity of their products, and they also need some good things for HI lightening their products around the world.

Recently we have few YouTube videos where Qatari Authorities are hiring big celebrities from Western countries for Hi Lightening their ways of life and local rules because they are also looking for good number of fans from around the world in this event which is going to be good for their tourism in the future.

The good news is that we can still buy beer in Qatar during the 2022 FIFA world cup. because the FIFA has held intensive talks with the organizers. because this issue is important to FIFA. because after all the producer of Budweiser Beer has been the main sponsor of FIFA for almost three decades. And taking into account the World Cup spectators who also came from outside Qatar. then later there will be a stand selling beer near the stadium door. so the audience can still enjoy a beer while watching the game.

Shout-out to qatar and the organizer team who allow these beer issues settled really well.

It's not something really easy to break the culture that been there for more than what budweiser did in sponsorship, 3 decades? The culture itself might exist for hundreds decades.
Football and beer become a perfect match for some european people and hearing this .. they might won't be too much upset to enjoy the entertainment even more.

These are obviously some publicity stunts that are going to be done by the Qatar authorities. Almost every country does that in my opinion. But I would be really happy if Qatar does not look at it only as a money-making opportunity. I would be happy if Qatar thinks about this as a money-making opportunity and also an opportunity to get recognized in the world because of football. I don't have any high expectations from them in the world cup but I believe that they can do well and learn a lot of things from this world cup. Which is going to be really good for them in the long run if they are actually serious about it.

Well, if FIFA was already aware of this, I believe there is no possibility of "complaints" lol
As it is a country that is more restricted and strict in its customs and religion, this made it clear that these types of "problems" could happen.
But I think that this is not a very critical factor, and not to mention that Qatar is an extremely rich country and in a way this money that will move your country's economy in relation to this year's World Cup is not money extremely significant as they shouldn't need it lol

The World Cup can be a differentiator but in the tourism sector, as this will help to publicize and improve the image of the country that will host the World Cup this year.

Being the host team they'll be good with their performance. As said it is their learning time and Qatar isn't into money making out of FIFA 2022. If its focus is on money making, right now it could've taken away the entire restrictions within the country. But, with lots of difficulty and plans the selling of alcohol is being allowed.

Banning of something in a country it is not only because all the country desire it or deserve it but it is a personal interests that always makes some people to ban something from a country. Alcohol it's not really bad because some of these countries that have snow need alcohol to stimulate their body system so banning alcohol will bring a very big problem later not now

Just understand, the country have used to it and it haven't experienced any big problem. Now the World is reaching Qatar to watch different matches. By the time the country is favouring to give the comfort as they're in their home countries. For this reason they've given access for alcohol which is truly good. Alcohol isn't bad and it is not the only solution to stimulate body system of people living in cold countries.

In today's world, there is no point in imposing a blanket ban on recreational activities such as gambling and alcohol consumption. People are connected through various online means and they have instant access to all this stuff. If any any Qatari wants to have alcohol, then he will just travel to the neighboring Bahrain and have drinks there. And from what I have heard, most of the alcohol consumers in Bahrain are Qatari and Saudi Arabian nationals. The Bahrain government benefits from the increased tax revenue, while neighboring countries lose out.

What surprises me the most is that such an important topic was not on the negotiation table from the very beginning since Qatar decided they wanted to host the world cup, we know a great deal of the income generated by football clubs all over the world comes from the sale of alcohol and I guess the same is true for the world cup, how is it possible that they are just negotiating something so important months before the competition? This just shows to me once again that FIFA gave the world cup to Qatar without thinking about all the challenges that doing such a thing will entail.

We don't really know all the details of the deal.

Maybe they did negotiate it, but they wanted to keep it quiet until later.

Maybe the Qatar government wants to be seen as pushing back, etc.

There are so many possible scenarios that could have happened in the conversations. Whatever is shown to the public is not necessarily exactly what was discussed in private.

Alcohol companies are one of the major financiers of football competitions globally. They wouldn't have kept quiet or overlooked such an important aspect of negotiation or agreement. I believe we would get a clearer picture of the disagreement in a few days because the fans deserve to enjoy their money and drinking their favorite brands should be part of the entertainment. If the Qatari government wants to write off the sponsorship deals of these companies, then they should pay up the contract fees and other compensation. But Qatar and FIFA shouldn't make this world cup the most boring one in the history of football.

We all should come to the common ground that we have to respect the core values, culture and tradition of both the game and the host of the game. We should not use one to disturb the other, Qatar can't be a secular state overnight because of the world cup. I know that FIFA must have considered many things, including the total freeness of the players and the spectators before deciding to give Qatar the benefit of this year's world cup.

Meaning that, if Qatar could not agree with some financiers' operations, they might pay more to cover up for the lapses. But this will not still affect the online sponsors' campaign.

The 2022 world cup event in Qatar is only a matter of months away, a series of top teams are ready to fight to be the best, this four-year Grand tournament is scheduled to take place in Qatar from 20 November to 18 December 2022, Qatar is a Muslim majority country for sure. alcohol is not legalized in the country, but is it possible that at the world cup event, the country of Qatar will make concessions to all visitors to buy and drink alcohol in public places?
A total of 32 teams have been divided into 8 groups that are ready to compete in the first round, Qatar itself is in Group A, along with Ecuador, Senegal and the Netherlands.

[|MINER|]

but is it possible that at the world cup event, the country of Qatar will make concessions to all visitors to buy and drink alcohol in public places?

I had heard in a news that they will slightly attenuate the alcohol ban for the FIFA World Cup 2022. And also heard that there may be a ban on drinking alcohol in the open place, but  a separate reserved area will provide for drinking alcohol for only the foreigners. But in my opinion, there is nothing to worry about drinking alcohol or not, as long as the enjoyment of the game is correct

[rahmad2nd]

It is almost impossible if the qatar party issued a policy to allow visitors to buy and drink alcohol in public places, it would be contrary to the rules and culture in qatar country. It is almost certain that this will not happen, but Qatar has relaxed their rules regarding the 2022 World Cup by allowing the provision of alcoholic beverages.

Alcohol will be served in certain areas of the stadium during this year's Qatar World Cup, CEO Nasser al Khatar told BBC Sport.
Al Khater said his party is still finalizing the regulation related to alcohol. however, as you said. as long as they enjoy the game properly, there is nothing to worry about alcoholic drinks.
