The official England fan group attacked the ban on the sale of beer at World Cup grounds.
The statement came after it emerged the authorities in Qatar had made a last-minute decision not to sell any booze at the eight World Cup venues. It was ratified and agreed by FIFA on Friday - just 48 hours before the opening game between the host nation and Ecuador.
The Football Supporters’ Association, which represents around 60,000 England fans and fan groups, said: “Some fans like a beer at the match, and some don’t, but the real issue is the last minute u-turn which speaks to a wider problem – the total lack of communication and clarity from the organising committee towards supporters.
