Follow usOrganizers of the 2024 Paris Olympics have decided to ban alcohol sales inside the stadiums at next summer’s big event.
However, VIP guests in hospitalities will have access to alcohol as French law allows for exemptions to a limited amount of events per year.
However, a spokeperson stated that a low change is necessary if Paris wants to be able to accommodate the size of the 2024 event.
“Paris 2024 will be organising more than 700 competition sessions over 15 days of competition,” said the spokesperson.
“It is the strict application of French law that allows catering services that include the provision of alcohol to operate in hospitality areas as they are governed by a separate law on catering.”
In the upcoming Rugby World Cup fans will be allowed to consume alcohol inside the stadium. Such was the case at the 2022 Champions League final at Stade de France, where fans could consume alcohol on condition it was bought outside the stadium.
FIFA infamously changed it policy last year at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar by banning alcohol in all of the major tournament’s eight stadiums.
