At the World Cup in Qatar, supporters of the Black Stars who consume alcohol outside of permitted locations run the risk of receiving hefty fines.
On November 20, the competition begins, with Ghana placed in the same group as South Korea, Uruguay, and Portugal.
While supporters will be free to drink up to 17 hours a day at a ‘desert festival’ throughout the tournament, they have been advised not to bring alcohol from their own nation.
The ‘desert festival’, which will be known as ‘Arcadia Spectacular’, will be staged just outside of Qatar’s capital city of Doha and will be able to accommodate 15,000 fans each day.
Alcohol will also be available at matches but only before and after the game, and once fans have passed through stadium security.
Fans should avoid purchasing duty free products en route to avoid confiscation upon arrival into Qatar.
The Black Stars of Ghana will start their World Cup campaign against Portugal on 24th November.
