Alcohol set to be subsidised and more available at 2022 World Cup in Qatar

" Organisers plan for cheaper prices and more sale points
" England fans urged to be on best behaviour if team qualifies

Organisers of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar are close to a deal that would lead to alcohol being subsidised and more readily available during the tournament. However, they have also urged England fans to "bridge the cultural gap" by being on their best behaviour if their team qualifies.

A pint of beer in Doha, where most matches will be played, typically costs around 10 because of sin taxes in the Muslim country. However, organisers expect to announce cheaper alcohol prices, an extension of hotel happy hours and more locations where it will be sold during the World Cup in the coming months.
