The usual pre-match ritual for thirsty football fans includes a few pints and a boisterous sing-song. But for supporters of England and Wales heading to Qatar for the forthcoming World Cup, it will be very different experience.
It is against the law to drink alcohol or carry alcohol in public in all areas of the Arab state, which is classed as a dry nation. However, alcohol is available at licensed hotel restaurants and bars - but it's best to check when booking a table. Beer will also be available at designated fan zones.
The weather in Qatar will be warm with average values of 24C during the tournament, rising to 30C on some days.
