Sports Desk: Controversy continues around Qatar World Cup. This time the clothing issue has been added to it. It has been reported that revealing clothing has been banned at the World Cup in Qatar.
While there are no dress codes in western countries, it is completely different in a conservative country like Qatar. Women football fans going to watch the World Cup in Qatar must follow certain dress codes.
Because according to Qatari law, it is forbidden for women to wear revealing clothes. There is strictness in this regard in the World Cup as well. Even the shirt can’t be taken off in the stadium in the seat of emotion or in the excess of joy.
However, FIFA rules state that supporters have the freedom to choose their clothing; However, the rules of the host country must be respected. FIFA’s official website has also given instructions in this regard.
FIFA’s website calls for covering shoulders and knees when traveling to places open to the public, such as museums and government buildings. Everyone has to follow these rules in Qatar. Even at the World Cup, fans from Western countries can’t wear tight clothing that exposes their bodies.
What’s more, 15,000 special cameras have also been installed in each stadium to monitor whether this law is being fully complied with. However, the cameras will also be used to control other ‘crimes’.
The temperature in Qatar can rise to a maximum of 50 degrees. But Western fans are not used to such temperatures. But according to Qatari law they have to wear clothes. Failure to do so will result in a fine of up to 24,000 British pounds and even jail time. However, it is not compulsory for women from outside Qatar to wear ‘Abaya’ (a simple loose burqa-like garment). Swimwear is even allowed on hotel beaches and pools.
If you try to enter the queue with just clothes, pork, porn or sex toys, you will be severely punished. If you want to drink, you have to go to a certain place. Apart from this, drinking on the street or in the stadium will be punished. Source: The Sun.
