The Qatar World Cup, which will be held at the end of this year, has already caused a lot of trouble for the world, but even more so because of the country's many taboos, such as the strict restrictions on the sale of beer, which have caused a lot of resentment among fans. The Qatar World Cup organizing committee's latest announcement of beer restrictions, which only allow the sale of beer before and after the tournament kicks off, has led to a lot of curses from netizens.
Foreign media is reporting that the Qatar World Cup organizing committee has imposed a ban on the sale of beer during the tournament, allowing the sale of beer only three hours before the start of the tournament and one hour after the tournament, but prohibiting the sale of beer during the tournament. The logic of this ban is incomprehensible to the casual observer, but as a sponsor of the World Cup, Budweiser had to speak out.
Aside from the stadium, Budweiser will only be allowed to serve beer in the main fan zone in central Doha from 6:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. every day of the 29-day tournament and will be prohibited from serving beer during the rest of the day, a far cry from previous World Cup tournaments where beer was served in fan zones around the clock and was reportedly priced at $18 per half-liter.

The internet users have been cursing the World Cup being held in an extreme region, it's really troublesome to host the World Cup. Qatar can host the World Cup, but no beer?
In addition to the alcohol restrictions, Qatar had earlier rumored a ban on sex during the World Cup, making post-match parties and sex between non-couples illegal.
