Saudi Arabia has confirmed that alcohol will not be sold at the world championship in 2034, in which it will be hosting the tournament in five Saudi cities, reports Blic newspaper.
Instead of our weather, it's a dry place. For now, we do not allow alcohol, but much entertainment can be done without it. It's not a 100 percent necessary”, Saudi Ambassador to the United Kingdom Prince Khalid bin Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud said of British digital radio “LBC News”
Stressing cultural differences, Al Saud said Saudi Arabia is happy to accommodate people within its borders. However, he stressed, his country is not willing to change its culture for others.
December 2024, FIFA officially declared Saudi Arabia a host for the men's 2034 World Cup. This decision makes Saudi Arabia the second Middle East to host the prestigious international football tournament after Qatar in 2022.
The tour will take place at a total of 15 stadiums in Jedda, Khobar, Abha, capital Rijad, as well as in the town planned to build Neom.
