“No ministry or official has done as much for the country as BATE,” noted the President of Belarus, on visiting the construction site of the new football stadium in the city of Borisov.
Alexander Lukashenko and BATE head coach Victor Goncharenko lay a capsule in the foundations of the future football arena. A modern stadium, resembling a flying saucer, is to be built in 2012, meeting all UEFA requirements and enabling BATE to welcome their European Cup rivals to play in Borisov.
