Budweiser will ship the unsold Buds to the country that wins the tournament, the company said in a tweet.

Qatar’s last-minute decision to ban alcohol at World Cup stadiums has left Budweiser with loads of beer left on its hands. The company has an innovative solution to offload it. The company confirmed the plans in a statement to CNN Business, writing that it “wants to bring this celebration from the FIFA World Cup stadiums to the winning country’s fans.” “We will host the ultimate championship celebration for the winning country. Because, for the winning fans, they’ve taken the world.

“Following discussions between host country authorities and FIFA, a decision has been made to focus the sale of alcoholic beverages on the FIFA Fan Festival, other fan destinations and licensed venues, removing sales points of beer from Qatar’s FIFA World Cup 2022 stadium perimeter,” said FIFA, soccer’s governing body, last week. Budweiser tweeted, “Well, this is awkward,” though the social media post was quickly deleted.

That’s a bit sad. Thought they might send it to Ukraine.

Brilliant idea! Incidentally, the Sheiks of the Middle East are the biggest hypocrites. They enjoy their drinks on the sly.

Budweiser should sue Quatar and make them pay for it.

Qatar have his own cultures, traditions and laws, everyone must respect it during his stays in (remember you are just visitor not citizen 😂

Now I want a Muslim country to win!

That’s a disincentive

Now teams are going to tank on purpose

Gross picture. I’m from the future. Alcohol gets replaced. Bill Gates bought that marijuana grow op in 2016. That’s how it unfolds. Don’t blame me - I’m from the future.

' In heaven there is no beer.'

Qatar could be winners, they are not out of it yet! Saudi and Iran looking good!🤪

the people of Kurdistan are being massacred by the repressive forces of the Islamic Republic, they also attacking the houses of the people of Kurdistan, and they shoot with bullets to the people of Kurdistan!! please be the voice of the people of Iran! MahsaAmini Javanrud

The world doesn't even like that beer..

Just the incentive Saudi Arabia needed to beat Argentina.

Budweiser was sold from an American country to Brasil. It tasted a lot better when made in the USA.

For Free?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I hope an Arabic State wins 🤣😂🤣

As a punishment? 😇

Being forced to drink US Budweiser (watered down piss masquerading as beer), is FIFAWorldCup2022 loser’s penalty. Anyone with functioning tastebuds knows that the real Budweiser Budvar is brewed in the Czech Republic. It’s the Real Thing!

Budwiser be like drinking piss water.

What if Qatar emerges the winner

Why punish them? 🤔

That's a cruel threat

budweiserusa is dead to me.

Beer ban and Messi choked. Doh!

They should send them to the country that finishes last.

So they think Qatar will never win

They can't ship it to Qatar or Saudi Arabia if they win it, clearly Budweiser thinks non of Moslem countries can win, biased. Lol

Can we get Kenya into pool B
