BEER STALLS TO BE LESS PROMINENT

Budweiser beer stands at the stadiums are being moved aside to less prominent spots days before the kick-off. Qatar consented when launching its hosting bid in 2009 to respect FIFA’s commercial partnerships. Organisers confirmed a beer sales policy in September covering the stadiums and FIFA fan sites. Just days before the first games, the agreement was tweaked to give Budweiser tents less visibility for serving beer with alcohol within the stadium perimeter.
