text: # Belarus women's national handball team
  
  The Belarus women's national handball team is the national team of Belarus. It is governed by the Belarusian Handball Federation and takes part in international team handball competitions.
  
  In light of the launching of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the European Handball Federation in February 2022 temporarily suspended Belarus both in competitions for national teams and on the club level. The International Handball Federation banned Belarus athletes and officials. Referees, officials, and commission members from Belarus will not be called upon for future activities.
