Thanks for sharing this post mate as well as the link pertaining what's the do's and don'ts in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
I already heard some of the prohibitions made by their government and that they are very strict especially when it comes to the use of alchohol and drugs as that contradicts the beliefs and traditions of Saudi Araba as they are a Muslim country in the first place. Didn't shocked me though when I read the link you've shared but it just confirmed what I've heard that it is actually banned.
Well, what can I say, but good luck to those participants and fans who will watch the 2030 World Cup if KSA-Greece-Egypt will win the bid. Hopefully it's their competitor who will win the bid namely Portugal-Spain-Morroco as these country is far more free and lively from the first option and their national team is quite competitive as well, so they literally deserve to host the 2030 event.
Look what happened with Qatar. They lifted the ban on liquor and made arrangements so that the viewers visiting the country for FIFA will have better experience. Saudi Arabia also have similar laws, but the same might be lifted. So, based on the restrictions and the law the bid on the host for 2030 isn't gonna work.

Saudi Arabia Vision -2030. Among that sports can be found. As a focus of the 2030 now itself the country have given importance to Saudi Arabia Pro League. The competence will be high on the bid and we don't know who gonna win the bid. Another thing, unmarried couples weren't allowed to reside. See what is happening with Ronaldo, so exceptions are there. Same as that arrangements for specific time period might be done.
