Qatar announces ban on alcohol sales in and near World Cup stadiums

Qatar bans alcohol in the stadiums during the World Cup. This is reported by various media, including The New York Times. With that, the agreements would be changed just before the start of the tournament. World football association FIFA is possibly in trouble because of its $ 75 million sponsorship deal with beer brand Budweiser. According to the Daily Mail, the alcohol ban comes at the insistence of the powerful Qatari royal family.
