Belarus national football team
Encyclopedia
The Belarus national football team represents Belarus
in association football and is controlled by the Football Federation of Belarus
, the governing body for football in Belarus
. Belarus' home ground is Dinamo Stadium in Minsk
. Their head coach position is currently vacant after Bernd Stange
left the team in November 2011.
, Belarus played their first match against Lithuania
on July 20, 1992. Before that, some Belarusian players played for the USSR national football team
. The first FIFA-recognized international was a friendly against Ukraine
on October 28, 1992 and their first win came in a match against Luxembourg
on October 12, 1994.
Belarus have never qualified for either the FIFA World Cup
, or the UEFA European Championship. Despite the lack of any significant success during the 1990s, some notable results were still achieved, like a home win against the Netherlands
in qualification for Euro 1996 or two draws against Italy
during Euro 2000 qualification.
Under coach Eduard Malofeev
the team came very close to playing Germany
in a play-off round to qualify for the 2002 World Cup
in Japan
and South Korea
, but were defeated by Wales
in the last group stage match, missing the chance to overtake Ukraine
, who drew their last game, finishing the group second behind Poland
.
Their Euro 2004 qualifying campaign was very unsuccessful as Belarus lost 7 of their 8 games. Around the same time a generation change occurred and a number of players from the U-21 team
(which successfully qualified for 2004 European U-21 Championship
) joined the senior national team. With each next head coach (Anatoly Baidachny
, Yuri Puntus
and Bernd Stange
) the team improved their attacking skills. As a result in each subsequent qualifying tournament starting with 2006 World Cup
Belarus scored more goals (total and average per game) than in previous campaigns. However, problems in defense and a lot of missed goals prevented them from finishing higher than 4th in the group. Some notable results during this period included a high-scoring 3–4 away loss to Italy
in 2006 World Cup qualifier (the first time Italy conceded 3 goals in a home qualifying game since 1983) and another home victory against the Netherlands
during Euro 2008 qualifying.
Belarusians achieved some success in minor tournaments. In 2002 the team beat out Russia
and Ukraine
to win the "LG Cup". In 2004 and 2008, they won the 12th and 14th
editions of Malta International Football Tournament respectively. The first with its Olympic Squad and the later with the first team (many starters were only available for the last game vs Malta
).
