The youth (U-18) representative team of Belarus, staffed by players born in 2004, held two friendlies against peers from Armenia in Yerevan. The first of them ended in a draw (2:2), and in the second the Belarusians won (2:1).

In both matches of the national team, all nine FC BATE Borisov players that were called-up, took part: Arseni Aheyeu, Ilya Baranau, Arseni Blotski, Zakhar Hitseleu, Danila Zhulpa, Matsvei Svidzinski, Aliaksandr Frantsuzau, Tsimafei Sharkouski, Artsiom Shumanski. At the same time, Shumanski held both encounters in the role of captain, and in the second of them, he opened the score on the 42nd minute with a beautiful kick on the fly - after a pass from Blotski.

We also would like to note that one of the assistants in the coaching staff of the team under the leadership of Mikhail Markhel was the helmsman of the Yellow-Blues' reserves Aliaksandr Mikhailau.
