Law enforcement agencies in the United Kingdom are concerned about people facing charges during football’s greatest event. Fans have been warned that one-night stands can result in seven years behind bars at this year’s Qatar World Cup.
But while some reports state punishment is generally a year behind bars, non-profit Human Dignity Trust states it can be up to seven.
"Sex is very much off the menu unless you are coming as a husband and wife team," a police source told the outlet. "There definitely will be no one-night stands at this tournament."
"There is essentially a sex ban in place at this year’s World Cup for the first time ever. Fans need to be prepared."

Many have questioned the World Cup being held in Qatar and FIFA has responded by saying 'all are welcome' when it kicks off in five months' time. The source continued: "The drink and party culture after games, which is the norm in most places, is strictly prohibited.
The 2022 World Cup gets underway on 21 November, with the final to be played just before Christmas on 18 December. When the news was announced that the tournament would be hosted in Qatar, some called on the country to address its laws against the LGBTQ+ community.
