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.

I honestly believe that in stadiums law enforcement will be much more lenient than on the streets.
The world will all be looking at what happens on the pitch and in the stands, I'm sure Qatar, despite their conservatism, will not want to make a bad impression on the world.
However, I believe that the law will be strictly enforced on the streets and commercial establishments, so tourists will need to control themselves so they don't commit any bullshit that they may regret later.
