Belarusian national football team suffers a heavy defeat in their opening match of the World Cup tournament
Belarusian football is in the spotlight as the national team prepares to face Scotland in Zalaegerszeg, Hungary on September 8. This encounter comes after Scotland's 0:0 draw with Denmark in Copenhagen today. On the same day, Greece will host Denmark in Piraeus.
The upcoming 2026 World Cup is set to make history as it will be the first to feature 48 teams. A departure from the previous two-country hosting model, the 2026 tournament will be held in the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
The qualifying process for this expanded tournament has also undergone changes. The 12 European qualifying groups will now have their winners qualify directly for the tournament. The second-placed teams in these groups will participate in the play-offs.
In the recent Belarus vs. unspecified opposing team match, Germán Barkovsky scored from a penalty, but the search results do not provide information about who scored for Belarus in the second half against the opposing goalkeeper.
Meanwhile, Ilya Shkurenko will not be part of Legia's squad for the group stage of the League of Conferences. Belarusian footballers continue to make moves abroad, with Vitali Lisakovich joining the Slovenian "Celje".
In a unique turn of events, a Belarusian footballer was reported to have sung a song about "holy Rus" at a Slovenian club.
The home team scored five times against Pavel Pavlyuchenko's goal in the first half of an unspecified match, with another goal added in the second half.
Another Belarusian footballer, who was not named, has joined the Cyprus championship. These movements reflect the ongoing internationalisation of Belarusian football talent.
