Qatar stuns FIFA by calling for ban on beer being sold in World Cup 2022 stadiums

FIFA are under pressure to ban all alcohol sales at World Cup stadiums just days before the tournament kicks off.

The Qatari royal family have made their feelings clear which could have huge implications. They want FIFA to stop selling Budweiser, one of the organisation's biggest sponsors, at eight different stadiums, which would be in breach of a multi-million dollar contract.

Budweiser's visibility could be massively diluted with the potential u-turn coming at such short notice. It remains unclear whether beer will be sold at stadiums, with the opening game kicking off on Sunday. The only guaranteed place that will sell alcohol is fan parks.
