And the French newspaper, Le Parisien, confirmed that the organizing committee for the Paris Olympics prohibited fans and spectators from consuming alcoholic beverages in all stadiums, halls, and places where various sports competitions are held. The newspaper pointed out that there is one exception to this decision, as those it described as “important personalities” will be allowed to drink these drinks.
And she explained that, according to a decision by the Organizing Committee for the Paris Olympics, these drinks will not be included in the menu offerings intended for the general public, who have been “a little disappointed,” according to the description of “Le Parisien.”

Perfect organization for the Qatar World Cup 2022
The State of Qatar had decided to prevent fans and tourists from consuming alcoholic beverages in its stadiums during the 2022 World Cup matches.
Although this decision initially sparked a wave of controversy and anger by the European press, it was praised after that after the World Cup was free of any incident of rioting or violence.
As a result, the State of Qatar received many expressions of praise and praise, most notably from Gianni Infantino, President of the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA), who considered that the 2022 World Cup is the best in history, not only because of the prohibition of alcohol, but also due to the success of the Arab country in all organizational matters.
The thirty-third edition of the Summer Olympic Games is scheduled to take place from Friday, July 26, 2024 to Sunday, August 11 of the same year.
According to the official website of the Paris Olympics, football and rugby competitions will start on July 24, and handball competitions the next day, with the rest of the 32 team and individual sports starting on the opening day until the last day, with the participation of 206 national Olympic committees, in addition to the Olympic refugee team.
