The Dinamo stadium in Minsk boasts undersoil heating which permits international matches to be played throughout the year following the installation of a new system funded by the East European Assistance Bureau (EEAB).
Further improvement
With governmental support and financial backing, the Belarus Football Federation (BFF) will also have the opportunity to construct a football hall. This new addition will greatly influence the training possibilities in the country, with the EEAB also involved in the purchase and installation of the artificial pitch, lighting equipment and scoreboard.
Higher quality
BFF president Grigory Fedorov said: "The refurbishment of the base of the pitch, as well as the installation of the artificial heating, helps tremendously to improve the quality of the ground."
Beautiful stadium
"Now games can be played almost all year round, and the national team has a beautiful stadium at its disposal for any international games even early or late in the year," he added.
