Since taking charge of Seychelles in 2023, Herald Kowlessur led the team to a 1–2 record at the Council of Southern Africa tournament in March 2024, securing a win over Saudi Arabia before falling to hosts South Africa and Malawi, narrowly missing out on a spot in the knockout stage.

Belarus secured qualification alongside Portugal, Spain, and Italy after October’s UEFA qualifying placement matches in Cádiz, Spain, were canceled due to weather. The national team made its Beach Soccer World Cup debut in 2019, finishing 11th, and returned in 2021, placing 14th. Captain Ihar Bryshtel leads the squad, while veteran defender Vadzim Bokach aims to add to his national record of 105 caps.
