Mainly thanks to BATE Borisovwhich participated almost continuously in the Champions & Europa League groups, but also other clubs such as Dynamo Minsk and Shakhtar Karaganda, the Belarusians had managed to reach even the 19th place in the UEFA standings at the end of the 2016/17 season!

Belarusian clubs have taken steps backwards, with once-powerful BATE looking nothing like the outstanding team of 15 years ago, while the 2022 match-fixing scandal has irreparably damaged the league – at a time when, due to the war in Ukraine, clubs participating in Europe are forced to play permanently in neutral venues…
Belarus ????
Once a Top 20 league that reached as high as #19 in Europe in 2017.
Now ranked as 54th of 55 UEFA members, with only one league behind them – San Marino ????. pic.twitter.com/eTwhl2dLX8
