This blogger Artur Yanturin of Russia copied many of my blog teams. This blog was one of them. It was my Russia All-Time Team here. His team was written in 2020, but mine was uploaded in 2014. I also updated mine periodically. I made mistakes. He is from Russia. He should know the topic much more than I do, but he still kept my mistakes. He will copy this Belarus All-Time Team. Please look at my other teams from the former Soviet Union. He copied all of them.
Этот блогер Артур Янтурин из России скопировал многие из блог-команд. Этот блог был одним из них. Здесь была моя российская сборная всех времен. Его команда была написана в 2020 году, но моя была загружена в 2014 году. Я также периодически обновлял свою. Я сделал ошибки. Он из России. Он должен знать тему гораздо больше, чем я, но он все равно сохранил мои ошибки. Он будет копировать эту белорусскую сборную всех времен. Пожалуйста, посмотрите на другие мои команды из Советского Союза. Он скопировал их всех.
Гэты блогер Артур Янтурын з Расіі скапіяваў многія блог-каманды. Гэты блог быў адным з іх. Тут была мая зборная Расіі ўсіх часоў. Яго каманда была напісана ў 2020 годзе, але мая была загружана ў 2014 годзе. Я таксама перыядычна абнаўляў сваю. Я зрабіў памылкі. Ён з Расеі. Ён павінен ведаць гэтую тэму значна больш, чым я, але ён усё роўна захоўваў мае памылкі. Ён будзе капіяваць гэтую зборную Беларусі ўсіх часоў. Паглядзіце, калі ласка, на іншыя мае каманды з былога СССР. Ён скапіяваў іх усе.

Please also see my All-Time World Cup Team Index.
I created the former Soviet Union without Ukraine, Russia, Georgia and Central Asia All-Time team in 2016. The team was edited many times. Players from Georgia were included on that team. Later, when I created a Georgia All-Time Team, I decided to take away all of the players from there. However, when I started this All-Time Team for Belarus, I decided to keep Belarusian players over there. Of course, Artur Yanturin of Russia copied both blog teams. Please see for yourself: Georgia and Soviet Union without Ukraine, Russia, Georgia and Central Asia All-Time.
After the split of the Soviet Union, Belarus played their first match against Lithuania on 20 July 1992.[3] Before that, several Belarusian players played for the Soviet Union national team. The first FIFA-recognized international was a friendly against Ukraine on 28 October 1992, and their first win came in a match against Luxembourg on 12 October 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 the qualifiers for Euro 1996, and two draws against eventual runners-up Italy during Euro 2000 qualifiers.
Under coach Eduard Malofeyev, 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.
This is my all-time team for Belarus. If there were an All-Time World Cup, this would be the 23 players I would bring to the tournament. I am including players from the Soviet Union.

Honorable Mention
Yury Kurbyko, Yuri Zhevnov, Alyaksandr Myatlitski, Erik Yakhimovich, Eduard Zarembo, Ivan Savostikov, Yegor Filipenko, Alyaksandr Myatlitski, Timofey Kalachyov, Andrei Lavrik, Ihar Hurynovich, Renan Bressan, Ihar Stasevich, Syarhey Kislyak, Vitali Kutuzov, Syarhey Amelyanchuk.
Squad Explanation
-- The Soviet-era players were based on ethnicity and birth place. The post-Soviet Union players were based on the national team. I do not consider playing for one of the republics at the Spartakiad of the Peoples of the USSR as "cap-tied". Several Belarus-born players chose to play for other national teams after independence. They are ineligible for this team.
-- A number of players who were mentioned as Belarus' greatest ever were ineligible due various reasons. Sergey Gorlukovich (capped by Russia), Artem Milevskiy (capped by Ukraine), Yuri Pudyshev (Russian), Eduard Zarembo (born in Azerbaijan), Yuri Kurnenin (Russian), Vladimir Sakharov (Russian), Mikhail Mustygin (Russian), Nikolai Barmashev (Russian), Anatoly Baidachny (Russian) and Eduard Malofeev (Russian) were all big names in the area (see below for further explanation for some of the players). I do find myself being too strict for this blog. Without them, the team became very thin, but I decide to keep this team for now.
-- I began the selection process by adding Aleksandr Prokhorov, Vitaliy Starukhin, Sergei Aleinikov, Sergei Borovsky, Sergei Gurenko, Alexander Hleb and Sergey Gotsmanov to the team. They were members of my Soviet Union Without Russia, Ukraine, Georgia and Central Asia All-Time Team. Sergei Aleinikov was probably Belarus' greatest ever player, but Alexander Hleb was probably the best known player because of his club career in the West. He was also an automatic selection.
-- Sergey Borovsky became the first Belarusian player to represent the USSR in the World Cup Finals when he was selected onto the 1982 team. In 1990, we saw three Belarusian on the World Cup team. They were Sergei Aleinikov, Andrei Zygmantovich and Sergei Gorlukovich. Gorlukovich, however, was ineligible because he chose to play for Russia after the end of the Soviet Union.
-- Sergey Gotsmanov and Sergei Aleinikov were on the Soviet national team that finished second at Euro 1988. Both started in the Final against the Netherlands.
-- In March 28, 1984, the Soviet Union played against West Germany
in a friendly match. Eduard Malofeyev was their manager. The Soviet team used 5 players from Belarus. Viktor Shishkin, Andrei Zygmantovich, Ihar Hurynovich, and Sergei Aleinikov were starters. Viktor Yanushevsky came on from the bench. Yuri Pudyshev who played for Dinamo Minsk also started, but he was Russian. The match ended in a 2-1 loss for the CCCP.
-- Both Viktor Yanushevsky and Ihar Hurynovich played in the Final of the 1979 World Youth Cup where Diego Maradona first made a name.
Goalkeeper
-- A Russian website ranked Aleksandr Prokhorov as the 8th greatest Soviet goalkeeper of all-time. He was Soviet Goalkeeper of the Year in 1974 and 1975. Most lists suggested that he and Mikhail Vergeyenko were the top two greatest ever from Belarus.
-- Alexei Khomich played for Dinamo Minsk and was perhaps their greatest ever goalkeeper, but he was Russian who was playing with Dinamo Moscow before heading to Minsk in 1953.
-- Belarus nearly qualified for the 2002 World Cup's UEFA playoff round. They lost to Wales on the last match. It was Belarus' greatest campaign since its independence. Gennady Tumilovich was the hero of the campaign. According to a Russian website, he was the greatest Belarusian goalkeeper of all-time. Another Belarusian source listed him as Belarus' 10th greatest player, the first among goalkeepers. I took him as the third goalkeeper.
 |
| Gennady Tumilovich |
-- Yury Kurbyko played over 10 years with Dinamo Minsk. He led them to become the Soviet Top Champions in 1982. Some lists pointed him to be the third goalkeeper. Yuri Zhevnov was also widely mentioned. In fact, both of them were probably on par with Tumilovich.
Defenders
-- I started by selecting two fullbacks Sergei Borovsky and Sergei Gurenko. Borovsky had over 20 caps for USSR in the 1980's while Gurenko was among the greatest player from Belarus after the Fall of the USSR. Gurenko helped Lokomotiv Moscow to reached the playoff of the Champions League.
-- Sergey Shtanyuk was listed as Belarus' greatest central defender by a Russian website. He also played at a time when Belarus enjoyed its greatest results.
-- Viktor Yanushevsky's death remained a mystery. I could not find much information about his actual playing position. He was probably a centerback. He played in the famous World Youth Cup in 1979 against Diego Maradona. He was also mentioned frequently.
-- Both Alyaksandr Martynovich and Syarhey Amelyanchuk have over 70 caps for Belarus. I took Martynovich over Amelyanchuk. Syarhey Amelyanchuk was the last defender cut.
-- Juan Usatorre was a Spanish central defender of Basque origin born in Moscow. His family was political exiles. In his career, he played with Torpedo Moscow, Spartak Moscow, Lokomotiv Moscow and Dinamo Minsk. From1962 to 1965, he starred for Minsk. He was capped by the USSR 10 times. The fact that he was born in Moscow changed his status and spent time playing for Moscow clubs before coming to Belarus. He was ineligible.
-- I also came up with Ivan Savostikov numerous times in my research. In an interview, Juan Usetorre described him as a leftback. I did not know much about him. I put him on honourable mention.
-- LW/MF/LB: Yuri Kurnenin was born in Russia. He was a Dinamo Minsk legend, but he played for Dynamo Moscow before joining the club in 1976. CB Sergei Gorlukovich was born in Belarus, but he was capped by Russia between 1991 and 1996. So I ruled both of them out.
-- Eduard Zarembo (Эдуард Зарэмба) was born in Azerbaijan. Many times, he was listed as one of Belarus' greatest defenders. He was a rightback, I presumed. Although he was born in Azerbaijan. he started and played his entire career in Minsk. He played for the Soviet Union, but I could not find his completed record on line. He did represent the national team against a French club team Stade Français in October, 1965. The game also featured Lev Yashin, Valentine Ivanov, Mikheil Meskhi, Valery Voronin, Anatoliy Banishevskiy and Albert Shesternyov. So the Soviet team was almost a full team. Unlike the other players, he seemed to have grow up in Belarus. So I had no idea how to rule his eligibility. Furthermore, I need to drop someone else. So I put him on honourable mention.
-- CB Yegor Filipenko's career in La Liga was horrible. So I left him off.
Midfielders
-- In the 1980's, Sergei Aleinikov was a key player with the Soviet Union. He is probably Belarus' greatest ever player. He joined Juventus in 1989 as one of the first Soviet players playing in the West. He was one of the more obvious players selected. Then, I took Andrei Zygmantovich who had 35 caps for USSR and Sergey Gotsmanov 31 caps. Gotsmanov played most of the matches for the USSR at Euro 1988.
-- Alyaksandr Kulchy is the most capped player from Belarus with 102 caps.
-- Valyantsin Byalkevich and Alyaksandr Khatskevich played with Andriy Shevchenko and Serhiy Rebrov in Dynamo Kyiv. Byalkevich was ranked third greatest ever from Belarus by a list I found on the net. Notably, Dynamo Kyiv reached the semi-final of the 1999 Champions' League with both players featured regularly.
-- I preferred Alexander Hleb, Aleksandr Prokopenko and Valyantsin Byalkevich over Brazil-born Renan Bressan. I also left off Ihar Stasevich who won the Belarusian Premier League Player of the year 5 times. Aleksandr Prokopenko was a key player as Dinamo Minsk won the Soviet Top League in 1982. He was named first team of the best 33 Soviet Players of the Year that year. He was a fan favourite in Belarus.
-- I did not have spaces for Andrei Lavrik and Yuri Pudyshev. Which midfielders can I drop for them?
-- Right winger Ivan Moser of Dinamo Minsk was born in the former Czechoslovakia. He was listed as an Ukrainian by wikipedia. He played club football there before going to Minsk.
- Alexander Hleb could play on the right, but I might need Timofey Kalachyov who was a true right winger. I do believe that the team had too many defensive midfielders. In the end, I kept the midfielders.
-- I had two great left-side players. Sergey Gotsmanov is one of Belarus' greatest players. Maksim Romaschenko is the all-time leading scorer for Belarus. He also did well with Dynamo Moscow. He was mainly a left midfielder.
 |
| Sergey Gotsmanov |
Forward
-- Eduard Malofeyev was born in Russia. He played for Russian clubs before coming to Minsk in 1963. He was Dinomo Minsk's greatest player. As a coach, Malofeyev led Dinamo Minsk to the championship in the Soviet Top League in 1982. He was a hero of Belarus, but I ruled him ineligible.
-- Nikolai Barmashev (Бармашёв Николай Михайлович) was a star player for Dinamo Minsk in the 1950's. He was awarded the Great Patriotic War degree for his services in the War. He was listed as being born in Rostov.
-- Vladimir Sakharov, Mikhail Mustygin and Anatoly Baidachny were also born in Russia. They were all-timer for Dinamo Minsk. Artem Milevskyi chose to play for Ukraine, despite representing Belarus at the youth level.
-- In 2011, Vitaly Starukhin, Oleg Blohin and Igor Belanov were named as "the legends of Ukrainian football" at the Victory of Football awards, but Vitaly Starukhin is from Belarus. He is an all-time great with FC Shakhtar Donetsk. He was named the Best 33 of the Soviet Union 3 times (once on the first team). The award was independent from the Soviet Player of the Year in which he won in 1979.
-- Georgy Kondratiev were the starting striker for Belarus All-time Best XI for two of my two Russian sources. And in the eighties he was called the most inconspicuous attacker of the USSR.
-- The last two spots were between Vitali Kutuzov, Ihar Hurynovich, Vitali Rodionov and Sergei Kornilenko. In the end, I took Rodionov and Hurynovich.
-- Radionov was ranked one of top 5 greatest in this country from a poll I discovered. He was a hero of FC BATE Borisov, a club team that dominated Belarusian domestic league in his era. Sergei Kornilenko is the 4th most capped player and the 2nd highest goal scorer for Belarus. His name also came up in many sites and information. However, his club career was limited. Ihar Hurynovich on the other hand was on the Dinamo Minsk team that won the Soviet League in 1982. He was on the first team of 33 Best football players of the season in the USSR that year (also 1983). He joined Brighton after Sergey Gotsmanov left for Southampton. His work permit issue cut his career short.
-- Vitali Kutuzov did so and so in Italy in 2000's, but he had one of the better careers for Belarusian attackers playing in the West. However, who do I drop for him? I rewarded Radionov for his performance with BATE Borisov.
