Question: For which team does the professional footballer Alexander Hleb, whose country gained independence in 1991 and whose most popular sport is football closely followed by ice hockey, currently play?
Context: Sports in the United States are an important part of the country's culture.  Based on revenue, the four major professional sports leagues in the United States are Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Basketball Association (NBA), the National Football League (NFL), and the National Hockey League (NHL).  Major League Soccer is sometimes included in a "top five" of leagues of the country.  All four enjoy wide-ranging domestic media coverage and are considered the preeminent leagues in their respective sports in the world, although only basketball, baseball, and ice hockey have substantial followings in other nations.  Three of those leagues have teams that represent Canadian cities, and all four are the most financially lucrative sports leagues of their sport.  Soccer is the most popular sport in the United States after football, baseball, basketball and ice hockey, and soccer is the fastest growing sport in the country.  Tennis, golf, wrestling, auto racing, arena football, field lacrosse, box lacrosse and volleyball are also popular sports in the country. Football in Slovenia is governed by the Football Association of Slovenia ("Nogometna zveza Slovenije").  Slovenia has participated in international football as an independent nation since 1991, when the country gained independence from SFR Yugoslavia.

Today, the star of Belarusian football is Alexander Hleb, who currently plays for BATE Borisov. Football is the most popular sport in Tajikistan, a country that gained independence in 1991.  The national association regularly takes part in competitions organised by FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation at senior and youth level.  However, the country has not yet enjoyed any real success.  While funds are limited, costs for travel and accommodation for international matches are prohibitively high.  It is therefore extremely difficult for the national teams to gain experience, apart from in official competitions. The flag of Uzbekistan (Uzbek: "Oʻzbekiston davlat bayrogʻi/Ўзбекистон давлат байроғи" ) consists of three horizontal blue, white and green bands separated by two thin red fimbriations, with a crescent moon and twelve stars at the canton.  Adopted in 1991 to replace the flag of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic (SSR), it has been the flag of the Republic of Uzbekistan since the country gained independence in that same year.  The design of the present flag was partly inspired by the former one.
