Britain has banned beer in soccer stands for over 40 years. Is that about to change?英国禁止在足球看台上饮用啤酒已有40多年了。这种情况即将改变吗?
Alcohol has been banned in the stands of British soccer games for over 40 years, but UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham opened the door for the law to be repealed, saying he thinks it’s “discriminatory.”

Hello everyone, Spanish Editor Patrick here. Ben is enjoying a well-earned mini-vacation on the Emerald Isle, hence I am taking the reins for one edition so that Mr. Church can enjoy as many stouts and joyous conversations as Ireland can offer up before he returns on Monday. Sláinte to you, pal.
In today’s edition of the newsletter, we will be looking at the somewhat quick return of our dear old friend International Soccer – we thought we left you behind for a while after the World Cup, but somehow, you’re back.
We’ll also take a look at an ugly incident that shows women still have to fight for their place in soccer, hear from Kylian Mbappé on his chances for the Ballon d’Or, look at the North Korean under-20 women’s team, and we’re debuting a new recurring segment – with your help – about why you love your soccer club.
Anyways, plenty to get into today, but let’s begin with something that’s become a talker here in the UK: Will fans be able to drink beer in stadiums again?
If you’re reading from the US, you might be shocked to find out that you can’t drink beer in the stands at soccer matches in a few big leagues across Europe (e.g. Spain’s La Liga, France’s Ligue 1 and England’s Premier League), but that might soon be changing in the United Kingdom if the prime minister has his way.
UK PM Andy Burnham recently told reporters that he felt the current laws on the books banning alcohol in the stands at the top five tiers in the English game were “discriminatory” in nature, given that fans can drink in many of the other spectator sports in the country (rugby, tennis and cricket, for example).

“I don’t think it’s fair for football fans to be singled out,” Burnham said while at the United Nations in New York, according to the BBC . “I think that legislation dates to an era where football was very different.
“And I do believe there is a case to remove that discrimination. There are different ways it could be done. It could happen on a trial basis.”
The legislation Burnham refers to – the Sporting Events Act 1985 – was introduced by Margaret Thatcher’s government to help combat violence around the game in England and Wales. The home secretary at the time said alcohol was a “major contributory factor in violent and disorderly behavior,” so the ban was introduced. While hooliganism and fan violence were a big issue in the 1980s and 90s, incidents gradually declined until today where English fans largely have a much better reputation abroad.
Burnham might face some difficulties in repealing or altering the law though given the UK Football Policing Unit (UKFPC) told the BBC that any changes would mean “challenges” to the “safety of staff and fans at football games” and to police work.

The UKFPC added that soccer matches see far more “violence and criminal behaviour from their supporters” compared to other sports.
“It would be irresponsible to fuel this by allowing greater alcohol consumption during games,” it concluded.
Still, a lot of support for a repeal is arising from certain circles, with the Football Supporters’ Association calling the Sports Events Act of 1985 “outdated,” with its president Tom Greatrex saying, “We welcome the prime minister’s comments and totally agree that the legislation … deserves to be reviewed.”
Beer is currently allowed to be sold in England’s Women’s Super League following successful trials in its competitions , so the precedent is there, but it remains to be seen how far this will go given there does not appear to be any official movement to change the law.
I guess it’s still off to the pubs (shoutout to the Salmon and Ball in Bethnal Green) before kickoffs.

These are the words of North Korea’s under-20 midfielder Choe Rim-jong after securing a ticket to the U20 Women’s World Cup final against Spain.
It might be a surprise to some, given the Asian nation’s reclusive nature, but North Korea is a women’s soccer powerhouse, particularly on the junior level.
North Korea is the defending champion and has won three U20 Women’s World Cups in total, also finishing runner-up once in 2008. Oddly, the senior team’s best finish at a Women’s World Cup is the quarterfinals in 2007.
Now, after a 3-0 victory over Colombia in the semifinals, the under-20s are back in the final, ready to reign supreme over the junior levels in the hope of a better senior run next year at the World Cup in Brazil.

While we are witnessing big growth in both the quality and interest in the women’s game, we unfortunately are still experiencing some events that are holding women’s participation in the Beautiful Game back.
Major League Soccer (MLS) team Columbus Crew fired Federico Higuaín, the head coach of their reserve team, following an incident in a game that a referees’ association deemed “physical abuse and sexism” toward a female referee.
Higuaín – who was appointed head coach of the franchise’s reserve squad, Crew 2, in January 2025 – squeezed and refused to let go of a female referee’s hand during a recent MLS NEXT Pro match and told the official, “Don’t forget this is a man’s game.”
MLS NEXT Pro subsequently investigated the incident and suspended Higuaín for two matches before the Crew let him go.

Soccer superstar Kylian Mbappé says there's no “frustration” over not yet winning a Ballon d'Or – an annual award given to the world’s best player – but tells CNN's Amanda Davies that this “could be a good year for me.”
Despite not winning any silverware last season, the French forward became the World Cup’s all-time top scorer this summer and argues that the award should be given to the best individual player.
You can read more from Mbappé's interview with CNN Sports here: https://edition.cnn.com/2026/09/22/sport/kylian-mbappe-ballon-dor-france-on
Kylian Mbappé fell short of winning the World Cup in the summer, and he – quite annoyingly for me as a madridista – failed to win anything with Real Madrid last year, too, so many might be asking why he deserves to win the Ballon d’Or.
Well, he sat down with CNN Sports’ Amanda Davies to make his argument for why he should win soccer’s most prestigious individual award, saying that the prize should go to the best individual player in the world.

New CNN Sports intern Fraser Godden has compiled a couple of men’s internationals you should watch over the weekend.
Men’s UEFA Nations League, Group A3: England vs. Spain
When? Saturday – 2:45 p.m. ET / 7:45 p.m. local time
Where? Wembley Stadium, London, England

World champion Spain might have hoped for an easier return to international soccer to celebrate its World Cup triumph against Argentina just two months ago. Instead, La Roja visits Wembley to take on England in a repeat of the Euro 2024 final, which Spain won 2-1.
Fans will be hoping for a match that closer reflects the 2026 Bronze Medal match rather than the final given the 6-4 goalfest that played out between the Three Lions and France in Miami.
England manager Thomas Tuchel selected a 27-man squad for the upcoming fixtures against Spain, Czech Republic and Croatia but has been rocked by withdrawals from Cole Palmer, Marcus Rashford, Declan Rice, Tino Livramento and Kobbie Mainoo.
La Roja – looking to extend its record-breaking 38-match unbeaten run in competitive fixtures – called up stars Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres but will be without full-back Pedro Porro through injury.
(Spanish editor’s note: Fraser will be on site Saturday to capture some color for Monday’s newsletter, so stay tuned.)
Men’s International Friendlies: USMNT vs. Peru
When? Saturday – 4:30 p.m. ET (local time)
Where? Inter.co Stadium, Orlando, Florida, United States

The US Men’s National Team (USMNT) returns to the field following its heartbreaking World Cup loss to Belgium in the round of 16, taking on Peru in Orlando with the next generation very much the focus of the camp.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men will take on the 50th-ranked nation with a fresh squad after the Argentine boss selected 13 uncapped players and eight teenagers – including 16-year-old Philadelphia Union sensation Cavan Sullivan – for the matches against Peru, Chile, Mexico and Canada.
The squad is bolstered by call ups for experienced players, such as Tyler Adams and Antonee Robinson, but finds itself without Ricardo Pepi through injury and with some relatively shocking omissions (Christian Pulisic and World Cup hero Folarin Balogun are also out). Only Gio Reyna has scored 10 or more goals in the squad, so this definitely looks like experimentation time for Pochettino.
New to soccer fandom? Well, those match recommendations above should help to find out what to watch and why, but if you are a long-time fan (or jumped into the game fervently just recently), you likely have a favorite club that you will watch no matter what, even if you know it’s likely to end in frustration or numbness.
Today, we begin a new segment on the soccer love of your life with intrepid intern Fraser, who is a die-hard fan of a Scottish team you have likely never heard of.
It’s highly irregular for a born and bred Glaswegian to not support one of the two big teams in Scotland, such has been the dominance of Celtic and Rangers in Scottish soccer.
Yes, they’re giants of the game and enjoy regular, if not constant, success – but where’s the fun in that?
My love for Ayr United in the second-tier Scottish Championship is far more exhilarating, in my opinion, and is something that will never be broken. I’ve invested far too much time and emotions in my “wee” team from the Ayrshire coast.
My connection with “The Honest Men” – inspired by Ayrshire’s own Robert Burns’ famous poem, “ Tam O’Shanter ” – goes back long before I can remember. Before I could protest, I was wrapped in a black-and-white babygrow by my Ayr United-obsessed father. And that was that. From that point on, it was part of my identity, whether I liked it or not.
Every other Saturday in my childhood involved trips down to Somerset Park on the train to watch part-time soccer players battle the unforgiving wind and rain of the west coast of Scotland. I loved it.
At that time, Ayr bounced between the second and third tiers of Scottish soccer and the thrill of a promotion or relegation battle from one season to the next drew me in from an early age.
Admittedly, supporting a small team had its difficulties as a youngster. “Why support them if they’re rubbish?” or “When was the last time they won anything?” were standard responses to my declaration of love for Ayr. But that made me defiant. The day Ayr qualifies for the Champions League will taste even sweeter, let me tell you. Just look at Bodø/Glimt . If that squad can do it, why can’t ours?
Since attending my first match as a three-year-old, I’ve enjoyed the highest of highs – winning League One on the final day and reaching the semifinal of the League Cup and earning a trip to Hampden to play our bitter rival – and endured the lowest of lows (losing to our bitter rival at Hampden in said League Cup semifinal).
But that’s why I love my club. There truly is no greater feeling than standing on the old-style terracing at Somerset Park with the wind battering my face while Ayr United plays the Beautiful Game.
Are you a huge fan of a soccer club? Do you have heartbreaking tales and glorious triumphs or experiences to share? Well, send us your story and we could feature you in a future edition of The Beautiful Game.

If it seems like the international break has rushed up on us quite suddenly, it’s probably because it has. The World Cup wrapped up on July 19 and the Premier League kicked off just over a month later.
As fans were just beginning to digest the celebrated return of the club game, the break for national teams pressed pause on domestic leagues roughly five weeks after they began, with Germany’s Bundesliga playing just four games and both France’s Ligue 1 and the Premier League five each – quite a paltry offering for club-soccer starved fans.
Additionally, the break is three weeks long as opposed to the usual two. Why though? Well, it’s actually probably a good thing they did it.
The FIFA Council approved the lengthened break in March 2023 as part of its plan to rejig its international calendar and lessen disruptions to domestic leagues following the newly-expanded World Cup this year. The result is that, instead of three international breaks in the first half of the club season, we now have two. Also, the total number of weeks club seasons will be paused is five as opposed to six.
The idea, ironically, is to allow the players more rest as they won’t have to fly around the world as many weeks (e.g. an Asian or South American player on a European team would likely face brutal travel schedules). The result means an extended three-week first international break that allows teams to play up to four matches, which we are now beginning.
So what to make of it all? I’m not sure really. If you like international soccer like me, it’s not too bad, but if you miss the domestic club game, this is likely going to be a rough three weeks – though you (and the players) will suffer less in the long run.

大家好,我是西班牙语编辑帕特里克。本正在翡翠岛享受他应得的短暂假期,因此我代他负责这一期,好让丘奇先生在周一回来之前,尽情享受爱尔兰的啤酒和愉快的交谈。祝你健康,伙计。
在今天的新闻简报中,我们将关注我们亲爱的老朋友国际足球的迅速回归——我们以为世界杯之后我们会暂时告别你,但不知何故,你又回来了。
我们还将关注一起丑陋的事件,该事件表明女性仍然需要在足球领域为自己的地位而战;我们将听听基利安·姆巴佩谈论他获得金球奖的机会;我们将关注朝鲜U20女足;此外,我们还将推出一个新的定期栏目——在您的帮助下——讲述您为什么热爱您的足球俱乐部。
总之,今天有很多事情要说,但我们先从英国最近热议的话题开始:球迷们还能在体育场里再次喝啤酒吗?
如果你身在美国,你可能会惊讶地发现,在欧洲一些大型联赛(例如西班牙的西甲联赛、法国的法甲联赛和英格兰的英超联赛)的足球比赛看台上,你不能喝啤酒,但如果英国首相的愿望能够实现,这种情况可能很快就会改变。
英国首相安迪·伯纳姆最近告诉记者,他认为现行法律禁止在英格兰足球联赛前五级看台上饮酒具有“歧视性”,因为球迷可以在该国的许多其他观赏性体育赛事(例如橄榄球、网球和板球)中饮酒。
马克·阿特金斯/盖蒂图片社
据BBC报道,伯纳姆在纽约联合国总部表示:“我认为单独针对足球迷是不公平的。我认为这项立法可以追溯到足球与现在截然不同的时代。”
“而且我确实认为有理由消除这种歧视。有很多不同的方法可以做到这一点。可以先试行一下。”
伯纳姆提到的这项立法——1985年《体育赛事法》——是由玛格丽特·撒切尔政府推出的,旨在打击英格兰和威尔士的足球暴力事件。当时的内政大臣表示,酒精是“导致暴力和扰乱秩序行为的主要因素”,因此颁布了禁酒令。虽然在20世纪80年代和90年代,足球流氓和球迷暴力事件是一个大问题,但此类事件逐渐减少,直到今天,英国球迷在海外的声誉也普遍好得多。
不过,鉴于英国足球警务部门 (UKFPC) 告诉 BBC,任何改变都将对“足球比赛工作人员和球迷的安全”以及警方的工作构成“挑战”,伯纳姆在废除或修改该法律方面可能会面临一些困难。

英国足球政策委员会补充说,与其他运动相比,足球比赛中“球迷的暴力和犯罪行为”要多得多。
报告总结道:“允许在比赛期间增加酒精消费量,会助长这种现象,这是不负责任的。”
尽管如此,某些圈子里出现了许多支持废除该法案的声音,足球支持者协会称 1985 年的《体育赛事法》“过时了”,其主席汤姆·格雷特雷克斯表示:“我们欢迎首相的评论,并完全同意该立法……值得重新审查。”
目前,英格兰女子超级联赛已允许销售啤酒,此前该联赛的比赛中已成功进行了试点,因此已有先例,但鉴于目前似乎没有任何官方举措来改变法律,这项政策最终会发展到什么程度还有待观察。
我想在比赛开始前,大家还是会去酒吧喝上一杯(特别推荐贝斯纳尔格林的 Salmon and Ball 酒吧)。

这是朝鲜U20女足中场球员崔琳钟在获得U20女足世界杯决赛对阵西班牙的入场券后所说的话。
考虑到朝鲜这个亚洲国家的封闭性质,这或许会让一些人感到惊讶,但朝鲜是女子足球强国,尤其是在青少年级别。
朝鲜是卫冕冠军,总共获得过三次U20女足世界杯冠军,并在2008年获得过一次亚军。奇怪的是,朝鲜成年队在女足世界杯上的最佳成绩是2007年的四分之一决赛。
现在,在半决赛中以 3-0 战胜哥伦比亚后,U20 队重返决赛,准备称霸青年组,希望明年在巴西世界杯上取得更好的成年组成绩。

虽然我们看到女子足球的质量和关注度都大幅提升,但不幸的是,我们仍然遇到一些阻碍女性参与这项美丽运动的事件。
美国职业足球大联盟(MLS)球队哥伦布机员队解雇了预备队主教练费德里科·伊瓜因,此前裁判协会认定伊瓜因在一场比赛中对一名女裁判实施了“身体虐待和性别歧视”。
伊瓜因于 2025 年 1 月被任命为该俱乐部预备队 Crew 2 的主教练。在最近的一场 MLS NEXT Pro 比赛中,他紧紧抓住一名女裁判的手不放,并告诉该裁判:“别忘了这是男人的游戏。”
MLS NEXT Pro随后对该事件进行了调查,并对伊瓜因禁赛两场,之后哥伦布机员队放走了他。

足球巨星基利安·姆巴佩表示,对于尚未赢得金球奖(每年颁发给世界最佳球员的奖项)并没有感到“沮丧”,但他告诉 CNN 的阿曼达·戴维斯,今年“可能是我的好年头”。
尽管上赛季没有赢得任何奖杯,这位法国前锋在今年夏天成为了世界杯历史上的最佳射手,他认为这个奖项应该颁发给最好的个人球员。

基利安·姆巴佩在今夏未能赢得世界杯冠军,而且——作为一名皇马球迷,这让我非常恼火——他去年也没能随皇家马德里赢得任何荣誉,所以很多人可能会问,他凭什么应该赢得金球奖。
他与 CNN 体育频道的阿曼达·戴维斯坐下来,阐述了他为什么应该赢得足球界最负盛名的个人奖项,他说这个奖项应该颁给世界上最好的个人球员。

CNN体育频道新实习生弗雷泽·戈登整理了几场你周末应该观看的男子国际比赛。
男子欧洲国家联赛A3组:英格兰对阵西班牙
时间?周六下午 2:45(美国东部时间)/ 晚上 7:45(当地时间)
地点?英国伦敦温布利球场
丹尼斯·阿吉曼/欧罗巴出版社/盖蒂图片社
世界冠军西班牙队或许希望能够更轻松地重返国际赛场,庆祝两个月前战胜阿根廷夺得世界杯冠军。然而,他们却要前往温布利球场,与英格兰队再次交锋,重演2024年欧洲杯决赛的对决,当时西班牙队以2-1战胜英格兰队。
考虑到英格兰队和法国队在迈阿密上演的 6-4 进球大战,球迷们希望这场比赛能更接近 2026 年铜牌争夺战的水平,而不是决赛的水平。
英格兰主教练托马斯·图赫尔挑选了27人阵容参加即将到来的对阵西班牙、捷克和克罗地亚的比赛,但科尔·帕尔默、马库斯·拉什福德、德克兰·赖斯、蒂诺·利夫拉门托和科比·梅努的退出让阵容陷入混乱。
西班牙国家队(La Roja)希望延续其在正式比赛中创纪录的 38 场不败纪录,征召了球星拉明·亚马尔和费兰·托雷斯,但边后卫佩德罗·波罗因伤缺阵。
(西班牙编辑注:弗雷泽将于周六到现场拍摄一些照片,供周一的新闻简报使用,敬请期待。)
男子国际友谊赛:美国男足对阵秘鲁
时间?周六下午 4:30(美国东部时间,当地时间)
地点?美国佛罗里达州奥兰多市国际体育场

美国男足国家队(USMNT)在世界杯16强赛中遗憾负于比利时后重返赛场,将在奥兰多迎战秘鲁,而此次集训的重点很大程度上是培养下一代球员。
毛里西奥·波切蒂诺的球队将以全新的阵容迎战排名第 50 位的国家队。这位阿根廷主帅挑选了 13 名未曾代表国家队出战的球员和 8 名青少年球员——其中包括 16 岁的费城联队天才球员卡文·沙利文——参加对阵秘鲁、智利、墨西哥和加拿大的比赛。
球队阵容因泰勒·亚当斯和安东尼·罗宾逊等经验丰富的球员的入选而得到加强,但里卡多·佩皮因伤缺阵,此外还有一些令人颇感意外的落选(克里斯蒂安·普利西奇和世界杯功臣福拉林·巴洛贡也未能入选)。队中只有乔瓦尼·雷纳的进球数达到或超过10个,因此波切蒂诺显然正在经历一段试验期。
刚开始接触足球?那么,上面这些比赛推荐应该能帮助你了解该看什么以及为什么看,但如果你是一位资深球迷(或者最近才狂热地投入到这项运动中),你可能已经有了自己最喜欢的俱乐部,无论如何你都会观看他们的比赛,即使你知道比赛结果很可能是令人沮丧或麻木。
今天,我们将推出一个关于你生命中最爱的足球的新栏目,由勇敢的实习生弗雷泽来介绍,他是一位你可能从未听说过的苏格兰球队的铁杆球迷。
对于一个土生土长的格拉斯哥人来说,不支持苏格兰的两大豪门球队之一是非常不寻常的,因为凯尔特人和流浪者队在苏格兰足球界一直占据着统治地位。
是的,他们是这项运动的巨头,并且经常取得成功,即使不是持续不断的成功——但这有什么乐趣可言呢?
在我看来,我对苏格兰冠军联赛第二级别球队艾尔联队的热爱远比其他任何球队都更令人兴奋,而且这份热爱永远不会消逝。我已经在这支来自艾尔郡海岸的“小”球队身上投入了太多的时间和情感。
我与“诚实的人”(The Honest Men)的渊源——灵感源自艾尔郡诗人罗伯特·伯恩斯的名诗《坦姆·奥尚特》(Tam O'Shanter)——可以追溯到我记事之前。在我还没来得及抗议的时候,我那痴迷艾尔联队的父亲就把我裹在了一件黑白相间的婴儿连体衣里。就这样,从那时起,无论我是否喜欢,它都成了我身份的一部分。
我童年时每隔一个星期六都会坐火车去萨默塞特公园,观看业余足球运动员们在苏格兰西海岸无情的狂风暴雨中踢球。我非常喜欢。
当时,艾尔队在苏格兰足球的第二级别和第三级别之间徘徊,每个赛季的升降级大战的刺激感从小就吸引了我。
诚然,年轻时支持一支小球队确实困难重重。“他们这么烂,我干嘛支持他们?”或者“他们上次赢球是什么时候?”每当我表达对艾尔的喜爱时,总会有人这样反驳。但这反而让我更加坚定。我敢说,艾尔晋级欧冠的那一天,滋味会更加甜美。看看博德/格林特吧。如果他们能做到,为什么我们的不行?
自从三岁第一次观看比赛以来,我经历了巅峰时刻——在最后一轮赢得英甲联赛冠军,打入联赛杯半决赛,并赢得前往汉普顿公园球场与宿敌交锋的机会——也经历了低谷时刻(在联赛杯半决赛中在汉普顿公园球场输给了宿敌)。
但这就是我热爱我俱乐部的原因。没有什么比站在萨默塞特公园球场的老式看台上,迎着风,看着艾尔联队踢着美丽的足球更让人感到幸福的了。

如果感觉国际比赛日来得突然,那很可能是因为确实如此。世界杯7月19日结束,英超联赛仅仅一个月后就开赛了。
正当球迷们开始消化俱乐部比赛回归的喜悦时,国家队的休赛期导致国内联赛在开赛约五周后暂停,德国的德甲联赛只进行了四场比赛,法国的法甲联赛和英超联赛也都只进行了五场比赛——对于渴望俱乐部足球的球迷来说,这实在是太少了。
此外,这次的休息时间是三周,而不是通常的两周。为什么呢?嗯,实际上,他们这么做可能是件好事。
国际足联理事会于2023年3月批准延长国际比赛日间歇期,这是其调整国际赛程、减少今年扩军后的世界杯对各国联赛干扰计划的一部分。因此,俱乐部赛季上半程的国际比赛日将从之前的三个减少到两个。此外,俱乐部赛季暂停的总周数也从六周减少到五周。
具有讽刺意味的是,此举旨在让球员们获得更多休息时间,因为他们不必像以前那样连续几周在世界各地奔波(例如,一名效力于欧洲球队的亚洲或南美球员很可能面临极其密集的旅行安排)。最终结果是,首个国际比赛日将延长至三周,允许各队最多进行四场比赛,而我们现在正开始实施这一措施。
所以,这一切到底意味着什么呢?说实话,我也不太确定。如果你像我一样喜欢国际足球,那倒也还好;但如果你想念国内俱乐部比赛,接下来的三周可能会比较难熬——不过从长远来看,你(以及球员们)受到的影响会小很多。
