Qatar dropped yet another clanger over the row involving alcohol at the World Cup - after apparently attempting to ban sponsors Budweiser from serving drinks at their own hotel.
The American brewers - who have a £63million contract with FIFA and are one of their flagship sponsors - have already seen their agreement redacted with the host country making the decision to not serve alcohol at any of their eight stadiums.
Alcoholic drinks at games are only available at £20,000-per-match executive suites, leading to huge disagreements between Budweiser and tournament organisers. That stepped up a notch over recent days with Qatari officials having attempted to ban beer from the sponsor’s own hotel.
