The largest football match's count has started. On November 20, the FIFA World Cup will get started with a game between Qatar and Ecuador. Media attention has been focused on Qatar as the tournament's host country, particularly because of its decision to restrict beer sales near football stadiums. Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, responded to the beer restriction on Saturday by saying that football fans "can survive" without beer for three hours.

"I believe you can survive without drinking beer for three hours a day, in my opinion. In France, Spain, Scotland, or anywhere else, "He announced this at his first press conference in Doha.

Qatar decided to restrict the selling of beer near sports stadiums on Friday. After some conflict between the host nation and FIFA, the organization that governs football, a decision was made. Alcohol will be available during the event at specific "fan zones," according to the country's Supreme Committee on Delivery and Legacy's former position, which was criticised for being a U-turn.
Because of Budweiser's role as a FIFA World Cup sponsor, the issue started growing more complicated. Only Budweiser beer would have been sold at the World Cup location initially, but later a "overall ban" was declared.
In response to the decision, Budweiser said on Friday that it had no control over the limitations during World Cup games. Since their partnership with AB Inbev, the maker of Budweiser, began in 1986, FIFA has tried to negotiate commitments. However, the FIFA President's comment now makes it clear that the decision to implement the ban will be final.
According to a statement from FIFA, "tournament officials appreciate AB InBev's understanding and continuous support to our joint commitment to provide for everyone throughout the FIFA World Cup."
The announcement also reveals problems related to holding the largest football competition in a conservative Muslim nation where alcohol use and sales are strictly prohibited.
