Organisers have confirmed that alcohol will be served in select areas.
Alcohol is not allowed in Islam in the Middle East where the event will be taking place.
There will be a 40,000-capacity fan zone in the capital of the United States of America.
"We want people to come and experience things they will never forget," the CEO said.
This is the first time the Supreme Committee for Legacy and Delivery have publicly announced plans to allow fans to drink inside the stadium.
Whether this will be in concourses or inside the stadium bowl itself is yet to be confirmed, but reports suggest ticket holders will be allowed to buy alcohol three hours before kick-off and one hour after the match, but not while the game is in progress.
In the Middle East, it is illegal to consume alcohol in public, so it's a significant relaxation of the rules.
Visitors to the tournament will be able to purchase alcoholic beverages at the fan festival in Al Bidda Park, which is a licensed hotel bar and restaurant.
Fans were able to consume alcohol in a site outside of the city during the Club World Cup, which was won byLiverpool.
While alcohol will be available to those who want a drink in designated areas, it will not be available on the street.
People should stick to the designated areas when visiting.
We are very excited to have the world come to us. Many people will be seeing and exploring the region for the first time.
It is a once in a lifetime opportunity and we are determined to maximize it.
1.2 million people are expected to attend the World Cup in the country of three million.
Up to 130,000 rooms can be found across hotels, cabins in two cruise ships, apartments and desert camps.
All tickets for the general public will be sold, according to Al Khater, who said he was confident.
The tournament will begin a day earlier on Sunday, 20 November, with hosts Qatar facing off.
