Ecuador's fans chanted "We want beer!" during their opening match Sunday against FIFA World Cup host Qatar, who banned alcohol sales at stadiums two days earlier.
The FIFA World Cup got underway Sunday and Team USA will launch their campaign against Wales later on Monday. The Middle East's first World Cup has been plagued by international criticism directed at Qatar's human rights record and the working conditions of the migrant labor force who helped build the stadiums. Roxana Saberi reports from Doha.
The opening ceremony was meant to introduce Qatar to the world through its culture with a theme of "bridging distances."
Qatar has faced a litany of criticism since 2010, when it was controversially chosen by FIFA to host the biggest soccer tournament in the world.
Qatar opens the tournament against Ecuador on Sunday, but that match has been overshadowed by the announcement that beer sales will be banned inside the stadium grounds.
Soccer fans getting ready to attend the World Cup in Qatar are just learning they will not be able to drink alcohol in the stadiums. The sudden reversal surprised Budweiser, which paid $75 million to be the official beer sponsor. There are also growing concerns of media censorship. Meanwhile, human rights group estimate that hundreds of migrant workers died building the infrastructure for Qatar's World Cup. Holly Williams reports.
The FIFA World Cup has banned beer from stadiums days before the soccer tournament is set to begin in Qatar. CBS News foreign correspondent Roxana Saberi joins Elaine Quijano and Michelle Miller to discuss what's behind the decision, and public backlash over the host country's human rights record.
Non-alcoholic beer will still be available, but the ban on alcohol just 2 days before games may be an issue for sponsor Budweiser.
The World Cup begins Sunday in Qatar, but for millions of soccer fans, the excitement started weeks ago when the Panini stickers featuring their favorite players shot onto the market.
Qatar is banning beer from World Cup stadiums, and Muslim Qatari residents are explaining why they agree with the move: "When I'm traveling to America, I follow the rules that exist there."
Qatar is one of the world's wealthiest nations, but a migrant worker tells CBS News he had "no rights" when he went to work there. Others didn't even survive.
Former Qatari national team player Khalid Salman also told a German reporter that he has a problem with children seeing gay people.
One human rights researcher told CBS News that she feels Qatar and FIFA are "complicit" in alleged violations against LGBTQ people in the country.
