The Belarus national football team (Template:Langx; Template:Langx) represents Belarus in men's international 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. Since independence in 1991, Belarus has not yet qualified for a FIFA World Cup or UEFA European Championship.

History

Template:Update After the split of the Soviet Union, Belarus played their first match against Lithuania on 20 July 1992.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Belarus won their group in the 2018–19 UEFA Nations League D that contained Luxembourg, Moldova, and San Marino, and qualified for the country's first-ever playoffs after they finished fourth in their group during UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying. The team was scheduled to play against Georgia. However, they lost 1–0, missing a place at UEFA Euro 2020.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Team image

Nickname

In August 2016, the Football Federation announced that the team's nickname would be the "White Wings".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The name was influenced by the book Template:Ill (1977) by Belarusian writer Uladzimir Karatkievich. The federation's marketing and communications director said: "We are looking at various ways of establishing links with our literary heritage and cultural traditions", stating that "If the Belarusian people opt to associate the team with Karatkevich, almost every phrase in the book can be used as a hashtag!"<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Home venue

Since September 2021, Central Stadium in Kazan, Russia has been the home venue because of travel sanctions imposed after an incident with Ryanair Flight 4978.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Due to Belarusian involvement in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, UEFA – the European governing body for association football – banned Belarusian clubs and national teams from hosting international matches as well as competitions, whilst allowing them to continue playing competitive matches, albeit at a neutral stadium behind closed doors.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="Belarusian involvement">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
