The State of Qatar has a longstanding ban on sèx between unmarried people and public consumption of alcohol, which is in line with its Sharia beliefs, and those who viólate the ban face up to seven years in prìson.
According to the Daily Star, the country plans to enforce the ban and not exclude foreign fans who would be in the country for the duration of the tournament. “Sèx is very much off the menu, unless you are coming as a husband and wife team. There definitely will be no one-night stands at this tournament.
“There will be no partying at all really. Everyone needs to keep their heads about them, unless they want to risk being stuck in prìson. There is essentially a séx ban in place at this year’s World Cup for the first time ever. Fans need to be prepared,” a police source added was quoted as stating.
“With very strict and scary consequences if you are caught. There is a feeling this could be a very bad tournament indeed for fans,” a source said.
Although FIFA has stated that “all are welcome” at the tournament, there have been growing speculations this might not be the case with Qatar’s tough regulations.
Earlier, the country had announced that same-séx couples and display of insignia related to the LGBTQ+ movement remained banned.
Meanwhile, the Chief Executive of the Qatar FIFA 2022 World Cup, Nasser al-Khater, had stated that “The safety and security of every fan is of the utmost importance to us.”
