We shouldn’t expect the ban on beer sales in stadiums to be lifted anytime soon. Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee for Physical Culture and Sports Dmitry Svishchev spoke about this.
“Our Ministry of Health has prevented the adoption of this law. There are no prospects for the return of beer. The Ministry of Health says that beer in the stadium is alcoholism, quotes “Sport Express».
The corresponding ban was introduced in the country on January 1, 2005. The previous year, beer advertising in stadiums and on television was limited.
Before that, State Duma deputy from the United Russia party, Yevgeny Revenko, called for the restrictions to be lifted. According to him, watching a football match with a glass of beer is already a tradition for Russians.
In addition, as of March 1, 2026, the Federal Service for Monitoring Alcohol and Tobacco Markets has obtained the right to block websites containing information about the online sale of tobacco and hookah products.
On December 19, the Federation Council also approved a law banning the sale of e-cigarettes and tobacco at public transport stations from September 1, 2026.
