Just two days before the FIFA World Cup begins, the Qatari royal family is demanding a complete ban on the sale of beers at all World Cup venues. The host country has asked FIFA to prevent the sale of beer at the eight World Cup stadiums.

Normally, alcohol sales are restricted to foreign visitors who consume it in hotels and restaurants with licenses or non-Muslim locals who possess special permissions and consume it at home. If the restriction is implemented, Budweiser, one of the tournament’s major sponsors, won’t be able to sell alcohol to spectators at the games, and Fifa risked breaching a significant deal with the firm.

Budweiser and Fifa are reportedly still in talks on the matter, but according to The Times, the Qatari royal family’s intervention has made the removal of Budweiser sales from competition more likely. Both have been contacted by MailOnline for comment, but as of the time of publication, no answer had been received.

Pork or products containing pork are prohibited from being brought into the country for personal use, and any articles found in violation will be seized. Although there may be no jail time involved, violators will be issued a harsh warning and the behavior will be viewed negatively by the community and airport workers.

Elf bars cannot be imported, sold, or bought in the United Kingdom, thus vaping Brits will have to leave them at home for the competition.
