Even for the 2026 World Cup, I don't think that alcoholic beverages other than beer will be available at the stadiums. And ever since I have started watching football, I have never witnessed any issue related to alcohol during the matches. In western nations, people know how to behave themselves after taking alcohol. And in the third world nations, there is a blanket ban on such beverages. Anyway, I am of the opinion that the authorities should not tell to ordinary people what they should eat or drink. Whether or not to consume alcohol should be a decision to be made by the fans themselves.

Never understood the pleasure of drinking beer in a stadium. As you know, it is processed very quickly and you have to run to the toilet (which is usually full) during the game. It is absolutely inconvenient and unfun in my opinion.
By the way, about the fact that beer is considered a "light" alcoholic drink, I also have a big misunderstanding - with a sufficient amount of alcohol drunk, it causes no less intoxicating effect than other drinks.
But in general, I agree that as long as a person does not interfere with others, he himself has the right to decide what to drink and eat.

Some people like to drink beer and some other people don't like it but the whole point of this story is about the rules and freedom because if a country is hosting the world cup they should give enough freedom to people who came to this country for watching the world cup games and since drinking alcoholic drinks is something many people do, I was expecting to see Qatar allows that, but I'm sure in 2026 that's not forbidden in America.
Do you all think that the FIFA authorities can organize the next World Cup like the World Cup in Qatar? In fact, although the FIFA authorities have made a great contribution to organizing this World Cup, the country where it will be hosted needs the most craftsmanship. From that point of view, I don't think any other country like Qatar can spend so much money on football world cup.

Sometimes it's not about spending too much money but it's all about respecting the people who come to the country to watch the world cup games and giving them some freedom, even if you spend millions of dollars still you can't provide all the visitors wants from your country, I think in the next cups we see we will never have another host like Qatar with these rules but because of the experience FIFA had in the past.
You have logic. But we have to remember that every country has its own rules, and we have to keep in mind that Qatar is a Muslim country. We as human beings consider it our moral duty to follow the rules and regulations of every country. We have to admit that Qatar has given football fans an amazing World Cup. We also want football fans to enjoy the next World Cup independently.
