Wearing a Barcelona shirt in Saudi Arabia now
risks a €135,000 fine and up to 15 years in
prison.

The change in law follows the cutting of
diplomatic relations and borders with Qatar,
who the Saudi Kingdom this week accused of
supporting ISIS

Saudi Arabia have moved to punish
Barcelona’s shirt sponsors of four years, Qatar
Airways, whose company logo adorns the
Spanish club’s kit and other promotional
material.

According to Sky Italy, those caught wearing
shirts with the Qatar Airways wording now
face a €135,000 euro fine and up to 15 years
in prison.

A ban could now follow in countries that sided
with Saudi Arabia in the international row
including the United Arab Emirates, Egypt,
Yemen and Bahrain.

Barcelona are, however, switching shirt
sponsors to Japanese online retailer Rakuten
from the 2017/18 season for four years.

Paris Saint-Germain were also affected this
week as the Ligue 1 club’s Qatari owners
have a shirt sponsorship deal with Emirates,
but the UAE’s national carrier have stopped
flights between the two countries.

But the French club, who have two more
seasons with Emirates, told Le Parisien: “It
will have no effect on the club, there is no
worry.”
