After Qatar abruptly banned beer from the stadiums, lager beer producer Budweiser announced that it would donate all of its FIFA World Cup 2022 beer to the winner nation. Budweiser posted a tweet, “New Day, New Tweet. The winning Country gets the Buds. Who will get them?”

According to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, Qatar put a last-minute ban on the selling of beer within the World Cup stadiums. The FIFA President stated during a news conference that sports enthusiasts can go three hours without drinking.

Beer sales were previously permitted at the official World Cup stadiums in Qatar, where Budweiser is also one of the FIFA 2022 official sponsors. Alcohol will be permitted in the FIFA Fan Festival, a designated party area with live entertainment and activities, for football fans.

With only two days until the inaugural game, Qatar abruptly reversed course on the agreement it had made to win the World Cup and outlawed the sale of beer in World Cup stadiums on Friday. The action was the most recent indication of the strain surrounding holding the event, which is both a sports competition and a month-long celebration, in the autocratic nation where alcohol sales are severely limited. Additionally, it deals a serious damage to World Cup beer sponsor Budweiser and raises concerns about the degree of influence FIFA still has over the competition.

Although FIFA’s demand for the sale of alcohol in stadiums was something Qatar agreed to when it originally announced its candidacy to host the World Cup, the specifics weren’t made public until September, only 11 weeks before the first game. This suggests how difficult the discussions may have been.

According to a statement released by FIFA on Friday, non-alcoholic beer will continue to be sold at the eight stadiums, while other alcoholic beverages will be supplied in the opulent hospitality areas of the venues.
