In a late development, Qatar has decided to ban the sales of alcohol at football stadiums during the FIFA World Cup 2022. The news has been confirmed by several sources, with an official announcement on this expected soon. According to a report in CNN, Qatar had earlier stated that fans would be permitted to buy alcohol at the matches, three hours before the kickoff time and one hour after the match is over. DailyMail reports that the intervention of the royal family led to this decision. This move is set to reportedly put FIFA's $75 million sponsorship agreement with Budweiser, in jeopardy.
