Booze ban is no problem for most fans at Qatar World Cup
Soccer fans at the almost alcohol-free World Cup are ready to pay high prices for a beer. A few have tried to smuggle booze into stadiums, but most simply accept that drinking is off-limits in the first tournament in a Muslim country.
Stefaan Pacquee, a Belgian doctor who travelled to Qatar from his home in Sydney, Australia, as he made his way into a stadium before Belgium’s 2-0 defeat by Morocco on Sunday, said: He said he noticed a change in the atmosphere where, apart from minor skirmishes between a few fans of Mexico and Argentina, there have been no reports of violence, in contrast to trouble that broke out in Belgium after Morocco’s win and fighting between England and Wales fans in Tenerife, Spain.
