“Sex is very much off the menu, unless you are coming as a husband and wife team. There definitely will be no one-night stand at this tournament. There will be no partying at all really. Everyone needs to keep their heads about them, unless they want to risk ­being stuck in prison. There is essentially a sex ban in place at this year’s World Cup for the first time ever. Fans need to be prepared," the police insider told Daily Star.

“The drink and party culture after games, which is the norm in most places, is strictly prohibited, with very strict and scary consequences if you are caught. There is a feeling that this could be a very bad tournament ­indeed for fans," he added.

Apart from it, consuming alcohol at public places is a crime in Qatar. So, fans will have to be careful about it as well. Reportedly, Qatar would permit alcohol consumption during the event by creating fan zones.
