The reason there are no fans at Belarus soccer games is due to UEFA sanctions against Belarus because of the Belarusian government's support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine. UEFA has banned Belarus from hosting home matches in their own country and mandated that all Belarusian clubs and national teams in their tournaments must play at neutral venues without any fans present. Consequently, matches involving Belarus, such as the World Cup qualifier against Scotland, are held in neutral locations like Hungary and behind closed doors with no spectators allowed. This ban on fans is part of the broader punishment affecting Belarusian football teams due to political reasons beyond the teams themselves.
