2022 World Cup: Qatari govt to jail unmarried players, fans

The host nation for the 2022 World Cup, Qatar has outlawed players and fans from having sex outside of marriage in the upcoming tournament.

The Qatari government promised it will sentence defaulters to seven years in prison.

Public drinking, parties, and other social events would also be disallowed during the tournament.

According to reports, the country plans to enforce the ban for the duration of the tournament.

A police source revealed, “Sex is very much off the menu unless you are coming as a husband and wife team.

“There definitely will be no one-night stands at this tournament.

“There will be no partying at all really. Everyone needs to keep their heads about them unless they want to risk ­being stuck in prison.

“There is essentially a sex ban in place at this year’s World Cup for the first time ever. Fans need to be prepared.”

Qatar also forbids anyone from being publicly intoxicated.

Public display of affection between men and women, even if married, is also a crime.

Also, one should not be caught wearing revealing clothing in public.

A source added, “With very strict and scary consequences if you are caught.

“There is a feeling this could be a very bad tournament ­indeed for fans.”

Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani recently released a statement ahead of the tournament.

He stated, “We don’t prevent anyone from coming to Doha with different backgrounds, different beliefs, Qatar is a very welcoming country.

“We have millions of people who come to visit our country and the World Cup is a great opportunity for people from different parts of the world to come and discover our culture.”
