World Cup: FIFA publishes forbidden items by Islam

When people visit a foreign country which holds a muslim culture and background, it is good to understand how a too much european approach to daily life could clash with local rules and regulations. This is why FIFA, according to daily newspaper Emarat Al-Yam, decided to publish a long list of the behaviours that supporters should not show during the coming FIFA Club World Cup which will take place in Abu Dhabi in the UAE. Fliers with the suggested behavioural norms and regulations will be distributed to foreign supporters so they can read through the rules which should be carefully respected: kissing in public or drinking alcoholics are among the things that are not allowed in the UAE.

Shaza al-Rumaithy, spokesman of the organizing committee, explained that: "We are in a muslim country, a place with its own culture and tradirions which everyone must respect and honour".
