Budweiser is one of FIFA’s biggest sponsors, but was told to relocate stalls selling its product at stadiums to less prominent locations.

GWG.NG reports that Qatar now wants to go even further and that discussions are ongoing between FIFA and Budweiser.

The PA news agency has approached FIFA and Budweiser owner AB InBev for comment.

In response to the request to move its outlets, AB InBev told Sky News, “AB InBev was informed on November 12, and is working with FIFA to relocate the concession outlets to locations as directed.

“We are working with FIFA to bring the best possible experience to the fans. Our focus is on delivering the best possible consumer experience under the new circumstances.’’

Some perons and agencies are kicking against the move by Qatar to ban the sale of beer in stadiums during the world cup.
