Following last-minute negotiations, World Cup organisers in Qatar have prohibited the selling of alcohol near stadiums, FIFA reported on Friday.

Except for Bud Zero, a zero-alcohol beer, FIFA stated that sales of alcoholic beverages would be prohibited inside stadiums.

“Following discussions between host country authorities and FIFA, a decision has been made to focus the sale of alcoholic beverages on the FIFA Fan Festival, other fan destinations, and licenced venues, and to remove sales points of beer from Qatar’s FIFA World Cup 2022 stadium perimeters,” FIFA Media said in a statement posted on its Twitter page.

There is no effect on Bud Zero sales.

“Host country authorities and FIFA will continue to ensure that the stadiums and surrounding areas provide an enjoyable, respectful and pleasant experience for all fans.

“The tournament organisers appreciate AB InBev’s understanding and continuous support to our joint commitment to cater for everyone during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.”

The sale of alcohol is strictly controlled in Qatar, but it is due to be available in the area immediately outside match venues and fan zones, as well as within hotels.

Budweiser is one of FIFA’s biggest sponsors, but was told to relocate stalls selling its product at stadiums to less prominent locations.
