Therefore, before going to Qatar to participate in the 2022 World Cup, let's explore the ban on tourists when coming to this country.
Ban on overnight love, same-sex relationships, adultery
This ban is effective from the opening date until the closing date of the 2022 World Cup, for anyone who is visiting and staying in this country. Violators are at risk of being imprisoned for 3 years or more, and even committing a serious crime can result in the death penalty.
Up to now, Qatar has not accepted same-sex relationships. At the same time, Adultery is also an act that is considered a moral degradation and is banned from everyone.
Thus, this will be the first World Cup to completely ban "one-night love" unless the two are legal couples. Those who violate can be imprisoned for up to 7 years.
In addition, Adultery is considered a moral degradation and is banned from everyone. Homosexamination has not yet been accepted by Qatar. Even Mr. Mansoor Al Ansari - General Secretary of the Qatar Football Association said that Qatar is considering adding a regulation prohibiting the placement of LGBT flags at all matches.
In addition, some hotels in Qatar have also publicly not welcomed same-sex couples. Others said they still accept customers but do not allow them to express their affection in a common space.
Limit alcohol
According to the announcement updated on the official website of the World Football Federation (FIFA), alcoholic beverages such as Sampanh, strong wine, beer, wine are only provided at VIP lounges in the stadium where the 2022 World Cup match is held.
In addition, World Cup fans are only allowed to drink these drinks in limited quantities before and after the match ends in the area permitted by the Organizing Committee around the stadium. Fans are absolutely not allowed to bring alcoholic beverages into the stadium.
If they violate, fans will be heavily fined, including administrative fines and wheelie. The fine is up to 100 strokes. In particular, drunkards are absolutely banned, if arrested, they will face a prison sentence.
According to some sources, FIFA's fanzone area with a capacity of about 40,000 people will serve alcoholic beverages at any time. In addition, audiences can go to 2 locations, InterContinental Beach and Spa, and Doha Golf Club to drink wine at all times of the day.
Cigarettes are banned in all public spaces.
Regulations on clothing
On the 2022 World Cup homepage, the regulations of host country Qatar are updated: "Fans can wear any outfit according to their preferences. However, the outfit must be long over the knees and the chest must not be exposed at public attractions such as museums and government buildings.
Visitors will be allowed to wear swimsuits at the beach and swimming pool of the hotel. Fans coming to the stadium need to note that unveiling in the stadium is not allowed".
Accordingly, people who wear bare clothes at the stadium can be fined up to 2,700 Euros (about 62.7 million VND). Meanwhile, female tourists coming here must dress simply and discreetly in public places, and their clothes must be covered, avoiding wearing short dresses and showing off their skin.
Limit filming and taking photos
International audiences coming to watch the World Cup need to pay attention when filming and taking photos of locations related to religion, culture or the military. Videos posted on social media that are considered insulting and financially sensitive can be punished by law.
In addition, fans are prohibited from wearing masks. This rule makes many Koreans unhappy, because Lucha Libre masks are a characteristic of fans in football matches. However, in case Mexicoese fans continue to wear masks to cheer at the stadiums, security forces will confiscate and warn.
Currently, Qatar still requires wearing masks in crowded places or traveling by public transport.
