Before the start of the FIFA World Cup 2022, there has been news of a ban on alcohol and beer in Qatar. Every Friday in Qatar, the sale of ‘alcohol’ beer has been banned in 8 stadiums of the World Cup. This news is a big blow for those foreign fans who are seen supporting their team by consuming liquor and beer in the stadium. Apart from this, during the Football World Cup in Qatar, the fans will also have to take care of many other rules.
If football fans in Qatar are found violating these Five Big rules, then they can be fined lakhs of rupees. Let us know about these rules-
Rule #1 – WILL be jailed for fighting
Several recent major tournaments have seen incidents of fighting between fans. Violence broke out between Brazil and Serbia fans at the 2018 World Cup, while England fans fought Russian supporters at the 2016 European Championship. If fans are found doing so in Qatar, they could face a jail term of up to two years or a fine of up to 10,000 riyals (about Rs.23 lakh).
Rule #2 – NO protest allowed
At this time, fans protesting against Qatar’s laws may find themselves in danger. Under Qatari laws, protesters could face up to five years in prison for inciting people. Apart from this, a heavy fine of 100,000 Qatari Riyals (about Rs.23 lakh) can be imposed.
Rule #3 – Sexual Relations
One of the main arguments against Qatar hosting the FIFA World Cup is its ban on homosexuality, which is punishable by up to three years in prison and heavy fines.
Rule #4 – NO Drugs
Qatar has zero tolerance for narcotics – whether supply, use, or possession. Embassies have generally been unable to intervene when a citizen of their country has been detained on drug-related charges. Anyone caught smuggling drugs into Qatar can face up to 20 years in prison, as well as a hefty fine of 100,000 (roughly Rs. 23 lakh) and 300,000 riyals (roughly Rs.68 lakh).
Rule #5 – Football fans will be fined if they litter
Littering in Qatar can lead to a fine of up to 10,000 riyals (about Rs.23 lakh) while spitting, urinating, or defecating in public can lead to up to six months in prison as heavy fines.
