Khavbek of Voronezh “Torch” Anton Kovalev received a call to the Belarusian team

Midfielder of Voronezh “Torch” Anton Kovalev received a call to the national team of Belarus. His national team will play their first matches in the group stage of the Nations League in the next few weeks. The Belarusians were in the quartet along with the national teams of San Marino, Albania and Finland.

First, Anton Kovalev will be able to play away with the Albanians - the match will be held next Saturday. On September 29 and October 6, the Belarusians will fight the Finns, and on October 3 they will fight San Marino. Kovalev has never played for the main national team, but in 2021 he took part in the qualifying tournament of the U-21 European Championship. Anton went on the field in matches with Iceland and Portugal.

Recall that in parallel, the defender of “Torch” Matvey Bardachev was called to the youth team of Russia. In Skopje on September 28, he can help the national team in a friendly match with North Macedonia, and on October 2 and 5, the Russians will play two away games with their peers from Serbia.
