The Saudi Arabian ambassador to the UK, Prince Khalid bin Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud, confirmed that alcohol will not be permitted during the 2034 World Cup, emphasizing that enjoyment can still be found without it. He indicated that the country aims to respect its cultural values while also accommodating visitors. Despite controversial aspects regarding LGBTQ+ rights, Prince Khalid assured that everyone is welcome, stating that Saudi Arabia intends to maintain its cultural integrity and laws throughout the event.
At the moment, we don't allow alcohol, but you know, plenty of fun can be had without alcohol. It's not 100% necessary.
There's no alcohol at all. Rather like our weather, it's a dry country. Everyone has their own culture, and we're happy to accommodate people.
We will welcome everyone. You saw that recently this was an issue, and we hope to create a welcoming environment for all.
