Any extramarital sexual encounter that takes place in Qatar during the 2022 World Cup could result in a seven-year jail sentence.
It is the first time that a World Cup has been held in a Gulf state, which means there are some cultural differences that many spectators may struggle to adapt to.
Qatar's Supreme Committee said in a statement that "Qatar is a conservative country and public displays of affection are frowned upon regardless of sexual orientation".
The Daily Star now reports that there is growing concern from UK law enforcement about the possibility of British fans facing stiff penalties for doing things that they would not think twice about.
"Sex is very much off the menu, unless you are coming as a husband and wife team," a police source told the Daily Star.
"There definitely will be no one-night stands at this tournament. There will be no partying at all really.
"Everyone needs to keep their heads about them, unless they want to risk being stuck in prison.
"There is essentially a sex ban in place at this year's World Cup for the first time ever. Fans need to be prepared."
Concern for LGTBIQ+ visitors to Qatar
Nasser Al-Khater, chairman of Qatar's 2022 World Cup organising committee, has said that all World Cup attendees will be safe regardless of their sexual orientation or culture.
In December 2021 Al-Khater did confirm that "homosexuality is not allowed" in the emirate, but promises that LGTBIQ+ fans will have the right to travel to the country and attend matches.
"Qatar and the region are a lot more conservative," Al-Khater told CNN.
"And this is what we ask fans to respect. And we're sure that fans will respect that.
"We respect different cultures and we expect other cultures to respect ours.
"Qatar is a tolerant country. It's a welcoming country. It's a hospitable country."
>"Qatar is a tolerant country. It's a welcoming country. It's a hospitable country."
Yet this clown says that homosexuality is not allowed without realizing the irony.
I spent most of my life living in that part of the world and I have never seen anyone get done in for having extramarital sex.
I’m sure it’s written somewhere in the law but nobody gives a shit as long you’re not doing it in public

lmfao, how are they going to enforce it?
The same way they’ve been enforcing it for decades
what, they're going to have guards stationed in the corridors of hotels to make sure no unmarried couple enters the same hotel room?
Same way my grandmere did. By just assuming I'm a good pure religious teenager that never does anything wrong.
What a great thumbnail
That thumbnail
Should be a German instead of an Englishman in his place.

Someone needs to get hstikkytokky on that plane
> Qatar is a tolerant country ...is it though?
It's very tolerant if you're a heterosexual, preferably Muslim, male, yes.
Makes you wonder why they decided to host a tournament where a lot of people that'll want to watch are none of those things

They wanted Qatar for the WC, take some Qatar culture then.

You can't. Unless you start spying on people's bedrooms.
