The sale of alcoholic drinks inside all eight of Qatar's World Cup stadiums has been banned after Qatari officials made a ruling which means only non-alcoholic beverages will be sold during the tournament.
However, the decision will not impact the sale in luxury suites reserved for FIFA officials as well as fan parks. But the decision leaves FIFA in a precarious position as it will impact the sale of Budweiser - one of FIFA's biggest sponsors - with the World Cup just a matter of days away.
According to the New York Times, the change comes amid reported rising tensions during negotiations over the sale of alcohol - which will now impact the sale within the eight stadiums.
