Episode 44 - Football in Belarus ft. Arciom Sizinca‪ū‬ The Forgotten Football Podcast

This week, Rory is joined by Arciom Sizincaū to take a whistle-stop tour around football in Belarus, including the history of football in the country and the current football landscape.



They cover the reason why there are so many lost clubs, name changes and mergers in Belarusian football, and discuss the meaning behind Belarusian Ultras flying a different flag (spoiler: it involved politics, heritage and identity!).



In total, we mention 10 lost clubs in this episode but focus on Start Vorša, the predecessor of the club Arciom supports. We also mention:


- Tarpeda Mahiloū

- Daryda Miensk

- Traktar Miensk

- Tarpeda Miensk

- MTZ-RIPO Miensk

- Viedryč-97 Rečyca (Viedrich-97 Rechitsa)

- Dniapro Mahiloū

- Uradžaj Miensk

- Vertykal Kalinkavičy

And yes, we know what you're thinking - spellings, names, languages and flags are important in Belarusian football. Listen to find out why!
