The Qatari government is interested in playing both sides. They want to enforce their law while appearing modern to the international community. Therefore you won't hear about this in Qatari news media, although it seems they'll be quick to punish any saucy post-match celebrations.
- boomboomsubban 4y ago>although it seems they'll be quick to punish any saucy post-match celebrations. Is there any source for this beyond a UK police officer talking to a tabloid? As yes it violates their laws, but they've held all sorts of events and I've never heard of a massive crackdown on tourist adultery. Qatar's laws are dumb and/or inhumane, and are a reason the World Cup should not be hosted there. Still, they're willing to sell alcohol to tourists so I doubt they'll strictly enforce this law either.
