Soccer fans banned from drinking acohol in stadiums during the World Cup

A confirmed ban on alcohol sales in stadiums, revealed by inside sources, creates a ripple effect across the tournament. The move follows the costly cancellation of beer sales in Qatar in 2022 and suggests FIFA may be prioritizing its financial relationships with Saudi Arabia.

Soccer fans attending the 2034 World Cup in Saudi Arabia will be prohibited from purchasing alcohol within stadiums. This decision, while not explicitly announced by FIFA, has been confirmed by senior sources within the organization who spoke to the Guardian.
