===Budweiser Bill=== In 2003, after numerous deaths in [[association football|soccer]] stadiums, Brazil passed a law outlawing alcohol sales in stadiums. FIFA demanded that Brazil allow alcohol sales at the [[2014 FIFA World Cup]] because Budweiser, a major World Cup sponsor is the "Official Beer of the FIFA World Cup", a role it has played since 1986. In response, Brazil passed a law paving the way for alcohol sales in the World Cup, nicknamed the "Budweiser Bill".<ref>[https://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2012/03/07/148155110/brazil-moves-to-ease-soccer-beer-ban-as-world-cup-spat-with-fifa-grows Brazil Moves To Ease Soccer Beer Ban, As World Cup Spat With FIFA Grows] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150318040837/http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2012/03/07/148155110/brazil-moves-to-ease-soccer-beer-ban-as-world-cup-spat-with-fifa-grows |date=March 18, 2015}}, ''[[NPR]]'' (March 7, 2012).</ref><ref>[http://en.mercopress.com/2012/05/10/brazilian-senate-approves-budweiser-bill-ending-dispute-with-fifa-over-world-cup-sponsoring Brazilian Senate approves 'Budweiser bill' ending dispute with FIFA over World Cup sponsoring] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714230247/http://en.mercopress.com/2012/05/10/brazilian-senate-approves-budweiser-bill-ending-dispute-with-fifa-over-world-cup-sponsoring |date=July 14, 2014}}, ''Merco Press'', (May 10, 2012).</ref>
