England fans travelling to this month’s World Cup in Qatar have vowed they will still “get p****d” despite a ban on selling alcohol inside stadiums.
The confirmation 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 official England fan group have attacked the ban on the sale of beer at World Cup grounds – although alcohol remains available to spectators in hospitality boxes within the nation’s stadiums – which represented a major U-turn on the eve of the tournament.
