Just before the tournament’s start, Qatar reversed previous alcohol sale regulations at its eight World Cup stadiums.
FIFA confirmed on Friday that beer sales will not be permitted within stadiums during the nearly month-long event, according to The Times. While the sale of beer is not allowed for most visiting fans, select guests and FIFA officials in luxury suites will still be allowed to enjoy beer, wine, and spirits in private viewing areas. This includes the official World Cup 2022 Champagne.
