Fans are required not to shout insulting slogans relating to the ruler.

The Champions League group match is held on Tuesday.

The game between BATE and Valencia is definitely going to be a show.

As Belorusski Partizan learnt from fans, Alyaksandr Lukashenka plans to attend the match. The Belarusian ruler decided to bask in the glory of Barysau football players after BATE's two victories over Bayern and Lille. At least activity of the secret services ahead of the game means the match will be attended by top officials.

The authorities got scared after fans' prank in Saint Petersburg. Plainclothes men spoke to fans from Minsk and Barysau warning them against shouting anti-Lukashenka slogans during the match.

It should be reminded that fans shouted “Governor is lout” to governor Poltavchenko at FC Zenit match in St Petersburg.
