Against this backdrop, two images allegedly of beer cans disguised as Pepsi and Coca-Cola are doing the rounds with the claim that people have found a way to sneak beer into the stadiums in Qatar. Fact CheckNewsMeter performed a reverse image search and found the image of beer cans disguised as Pepsi cans in an article by BBC published on 12 November 2015. It said that the Saudi Arabia police caught smugglers with cans of beer disguised as Pepsi. It said that 48,000 beer cans disguised as Pepsi cans were confiscated when a smuggler tried to smuggle the beer into Saudi Arabia from the UAE through the Al Batha border. Finally, we searched for news reports about football fans sneaking beer into the stadium in Qatar but did not find any such incidents reported so far.
