“In terms of stadiums, plans are still being finalized but discussions are underway on whether to allow fans to consume alcohol when entering or leaving the stadium, but it will not be served during the match or at the stadium,” Reuters added. She added: “Unlike previous fan zones at the World Cup, alcohol will not be served all day, but at limited times, and it will have a dedicated space located between the hotel and the district cooling station for 10,000 people. “
A spokesman for the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy (the body responsible for planning operations for the 2022 FIFA World Cup) confirmed plans to provide alcoholic beverages for the 28-day tournament will be announced in due course.
