Huge news for fans and spectators who will come to Qatar during the months of November and December this year for the World Cup games.
According to a report in "Reuters", a decision was made in Qatar according to which the fans will be able to purchase beer that contains alcohol - even though drinking alcohol is forbidden according to the laws of Islam.
At first it seemed that no beer would be sold at the World Cup, which this year will be held in the winter for the first time in the history of the industry.
According to the news, the beer will be sold in the fan complexes and stadiums, but not inside the pitches, and therefore drinking beer will also be prohibited in the stands or in the corridors of the stadiums.
It will be "Budweiser", the American beer company that is one of the main sponsors of the World Cup, which will receive exclusive permission to serve beer in the complexes, but as mentioned not inside the stadiums

"Beer will be available when the gates open and anyone who wants to drink beer will be able to," a senior official told Reuters, "he will also be able to purchase up to an hour after the game."
The source also added that "Budweiser" will sell beer to anyone in the fan complexes, but only from 6:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.
Since this year's World Cup was held in Qatar, a Muslim country with strict supervision regarding the drinking of alcohol, this is a very complex issue that FIFA is handling with caution in front of the leaders of Qatar. In the meantime, understandings have been reached on the method of sale, but a decision has not yet been made on how much it will cost to buy beer.
