But in the news they wrote that even for ordinary tourists the rules will be soft and they will be able to drink beer. Similarly, girls - all these restrictions concern the Qataris themselves rather than tourists, and even more so football players. If I remember correctly, one of the players is openly gay and he criticized Qatar for homophobic laws, but it is obvious that no one will detain him there or prosecute him for homosexuality. All these restrictions are rather far-fetched and the players will not notice them. As for the rest of the conditions, they are accustomed to a change of scenery and, in general, all the players will be on an equal footing - Europeans, Americans, Africans and Asians.
They announced that beer will be allowed in the stadiums, just before the start of the match. Alcoholic beverages and beer will not be available anywhere else. Unmarried couples and LGBTs are banned irrespective of the nationality. So I don't know how much change has been made for the world cup. Let's not forget the fact that Qatar is one of the more conservative countries in the GCC region, along with Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Rules are stricter when compared to more liberal neighbors, such as Bahrain, Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
I doubt that anyone will bother to check the pairs of tourists who, although for the sake of formalities, entered the country separately, but walk and sleep together. I know about the conservative nature of this country, but we all understand that any ideology has a huge amount of hypocrisy - if we turn to religion, then all these "entertainment" games/competitions are not encouraged by the radicals. But nevertheless, Qatar wants to hold this tournament and wants to attract tourists. I am sure that tourists informally will behave very freely during the World Cup, although formal restrictions will allegedly take place.
