For the time being, Belarus’ national football and hockey championships are the only top league competitions held in the world. All other tournaments at the same level were canceled due to the outbreak of COVID-19, which results in many football and hockey fans’ setting sights on current Belarusian matches.

In January, Belarus hosted the Christmas amateur ice hockey tournament, where the winner gets a presidential prize. President of Belarus Alyaksandr Lukashenka and his 15-year-old son Mikalai played in the team Belarus. Ironically, the team of Lukashenka won for the 13th time out of 16 series.
