Football fans in Qatar for the World Cup were left gasping by a stadium beer ban which was ordered by organisers on Friday, just two days before the tournament kicks off. Her compatriot Amelia, 22, said "it's going to be like a cultural shock" not to be able to drink alcohol at her country's games. "It's not prohibited in most countries around the world," she added. " But we have to respect their culture and their rules." However Hashem Walid, 20, was not bothered about a decision which has left the expected one million fans set to visit the country unable to engage in the customary quaffing before and after matches.
