New York CNN Business —In a surprise reversal, Qatar announced a ban of alcoholic beer at the eight stadiums hosting the World Cup. One serving of Bud Zero has 0 grams of sugar and 50 calories. “As partners of FIFA for over three decades, we look forward to our activations of FIFA World Cup campaigns around the world to celebrate football with our consumers,” an Anheuser-Busch InBev spokesperson said in a statement. Just a few days ago, reports showed World Cup workers moving beer tents into less visible areas of stadiums. The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 kicks off Sunday and lasts until December 18.
The announcement comes two days before Sunday's kickoff of the World Cup, the first to be held in a conservative Muslim country with strict controls on alcohol, the consumption of which is banned in public. For years, Qatar's tournament organisers have said that alcohol would be widely accessible to fans at the tournament. Budweiser has been a World Cup sponsor since 1985, the year before the event was held in Mexico. "Tournament organisers appreciate AB InBev’s understanding and continuous support to our joint commitment to cater for everyone during the FIFA World Cup," the statement said. Questions have swirled around the role alcohol would play at this year's World Cup since Qatar won hosting rights in 2010.
