A fresh update on Saudi Arabia’s alcohol ban for FIFA World Cup

Earlier, Saudi Arabia had expressed its strong desire to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup. They even invested heavily in securing the participation of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to support their bid. However, they faced a major setback when FIFA announced that Morocco, Spain, and Portugal would be the hosts of the 2030 edition. In the wake of this disappointment, Saudi Arabia is contemplating a significant decision for the 2034 tournament.

Reportedly, the country has chosen to reconsider its ‘alcohol ban’ in a bid to strengthen its candidacy for hosting the 2034 World Cup. Previously, Saudi Arabia had announced that host stadiums in their nation would not be permitted to sell alcohol. This was in line with Islamic laws that prohibited its consumption. However, following their loss in the bid for the 2030 tournament, they appear ready to make a surprising U-turn. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.
