Banning alcohol advertising from sport could have 'extremely grave' consequences for Scottish football, SNP ministers have been warned
Banning alcohol advertising from sport could have "extremely grave" consequences for Scottish football, SNP ministers have been warned.
But football bosses have warned such a move could mean an end to major international tournaments such as Euro 2028 being staged in Scotland. "For the avoidance of doubt, the national game remains supportive of responsible drinking campaigns, especially aimed at harmful drinkers, and will continue to use the power of football to promote that responsibility for the benefit of all concerned."
"To remove that revenue stream, at a time when we are experiencing the most significant economic challenges for a generation, could have huge implications for clubs and Scottish sport more generally." He said "The Scottish Government’s plans risk punishing local breweries, cider producers and the vast majority of people who consume alcohol responsibly instead of targeting intervention and help to those suffering from alcohol dependency."
