We are a few weeks away from the start of one of the most anticipated sporting events on the entire planet, especially for those who are football lovers: the World Cup in Qatar 800.
Without a doubt, the World Cup in Qatar is already somewhat atypical, since historically, this tournament was held in the summer and now, due to weather issues, decided that it would take place in the fall, for the convenience of the players and the thousands of tourists who will gather to support their respective teams.
However, it should be noted that the The World Cup will be played in a country that, not being Western, has some restrictions, both for its inhabitants and for its visitors that we could consider as somewhat exceptional.
If you already have your suitcase packed because you will be one of those privileged people who will live the great experience of the World Cup in Qatar 2022, maybe it is a good idea for you to know some things that they are prohibited from doing in this country in order to avoid having problems with the law, which would imply paying large fines and even going to jail.
The curious restrictions that there will be for visitors at the World Cup in Qatar 2022
1 ) Sex prohibited
Nasser Al-Khater, the president of the Organizing Committee of the World Cup, assured that people who have sexual relations outside of marriage will be penalized , since they are considered a crime.
This rule will apply both to tourists and to members of the 32 selections that will dispute this edition.
2) Public displays of affection are prohibited
Similarly, Al-Khater said that displays of affection in public are prohibited even if there is a marriage bond between the couple.
3) No display of homosexuality
Demonstrations by the LGBT+ community are also not allowed. The truth is that Qatar does not prohibit those who belong to the community from entering its country.
4) No celebrations in the street
The local authorities have informed that during the World Cup in Qatar 2022 a “zero tolerance” policy will be applied if people are seen drinking in public spaces or while driving. In the event that someone incurs in this offense, they could be subject to a fine of $800 dollars.
5) Special dress code
In order to access any place, it will be necessary for any person to cover their shoulders and knees.

6) Economic fines for littering
People who litter on public roads will be fined the equivalent of $2, 500.
