MINSK - Belarus is the only country in Europe still playing soccer amid the coronavirus pandemic but a growing number of fans are boycotting league matches, anxious about catching the disease.
"Of course, it is the main problem," said Belshina coach Eduard Gradoboyev, when asked about the lack of fans. The Belarus football federation initially explained its decision to continue because only a small number of coronavirus cases had been recorded in the eastern European country, but more recently they have declined comment.The clubs say they must comply with the federation's decision.
"Am I worried or not worried? I guess most likely not," he said."Because first of all there are not many people coming to watch football, there are no crowds. And all measures are taken at the stadium."
