Football fans attending the World Cup this year are going to have to watch their step if they begin feeling amorous during the tournament in conservative Qatar, where those caught frolicking with anyone other than their spouse could face seven years in prison.
According to an article in The Star, Frisky football fans have been warned that one-night stands could lead to a lengthy period behind bars. Boozy bunk-ups are effectively banned at the finals, which start in November. Even FIFA officials warn that there will be “no exceptions” to the law. It comes amid growing unease about the possibility of British fans facing severe penalties for “doing everyday things accepted at and after games”.
A UK police source said: “Sex is very much off the menu unless you are coming as husband and wife. There definitely will be no one-night stands at this tournament. "There will be no partying at all really. Everyone needs to keep their heads about them, unless they want to risk being stuck in prison. There is essentially a sex ban in place at this year’s World Cup for the first time ever. Fans need to be prepared.”
