According to the protocols, players are prohibited from consuming alcohol the day after a match, and a midnight curfew will remain in effect. Players must inform management or security if they stay out of the hotel past 10 PM.<\/p>\n
Players are banned from appearing intoxicated in public and from posting any alcohol-related activities or items on social media. Additionally, alcohol consumption is not allowed in public areas of the team hotel.<\/p>\n
