The sudden banning of alcohol, in or around the stadiums at the 2022 World Cup, would have come as a serious blow to travelling fans, eager to make the most of an expensive trip to Qatar.

However, the struggle to get beers had a happy ending for a group of scouse fans, who are making headlines after their search for beers led them to a Sheikh palace.

Speaking with TalkSport at a Doha fan zone, one of the lucky fans described their epic journey, and shared details of some of the various exotic animals they met.

“Last night we met one of the Sheikh’s sons and he took us back to the palace. He showed us that he had lions and everything. They’ve (Qatar residents) made us so welcome.

“Basically we were on a bit of a hunt for some beers and he was like ‘yeah, we sort beers, we sort beers’, so we jumped into the back of his Toyota Landcruiser, ended up at a big palace. He showed us his monkeys, his exotic birds. It was nuts.”

The same fan also took Snapchat videos of their escapades, showing him and his crew chilling out at the enormous palace, and also playing rather casually - and kissing - with one of the Sheik's lion cubs.
