TF1 TV channel presented Belarus’ national football team under a white-red-white flag.

This took place during the broadcasting of a qualification game for the UEFA European Championship against Albania. It was played on 20 October in Tirana. The national team of our country lost 2:1.

Our team was shown at the screen under the national flag. Charter97.org’s got the screen shot from one of the readers.

The white-red-white flag is the historic symbol of Belarusians. It was the state flag from 1991 to 1995. After the fraudulent referendum on changing the national symbols the flag was forbidden. It has become the symbol of resistance and its use is punished with arrests or fines.
