, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press.
"For many fans, whether they don’t drink alcohol or are used to dry stadium policies at home, this is a detail. It won’t change their tournament," Evain wrote on Twitter. "But with 48 to go, we’ve clearly entered a dangerous territory — where ‘assurances’ don’t matter anymore."While a sudden decision like this may seem extreme in the West, Qatar is an autocracy governed by a hereditary emir, who has absolute say over all governmental decisions.
