Football fans will watch the World Cup matches at the stadiums in Qatar sober.

It was announced today that the country hosting the World Cup has banned the sale of beer in stadiums.

This decision greatly disappointed FIFA's sponsor and alcoholic drink manufacturer "Budweiser", which soon posted a message on social media: "Well, this is tricky."

A short post on Twitter quickly received over 18,000 likes, but was soon deleted.

Meanwhile, FIFA released a statement urging fans to refresh themselves with non-alcoholic "Budweiser" beer at the stadiums.
