YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe organizers behind the World Cup in Qatar have banned the sale of alcohol within stadium grounds, dramatically reversing a decision to allow Anheuser-Busch InBev NV to sell Budweiser beer.
The decision will likely result in moving concession stands serving alcohol even further away from the stadiums. The tournament, typically the world’s largest sporting event and a decade in the planning, kicks off Sunday with the hosts taking on Ecuador.
The move is an about-face from Qatar’s previous position. The Supreme Committee on Delivery and Legacy had promised alcohol would be available in designated “fan zones” outside stadiums and other hospitality venues, and had allowed beer to be consumed in specific spots inside venues.
