History

Dnepr Mogilev was founded in 1960 under the name Khimik Mogilev and began playing in the Class B (second tier league) of Soviet championship, which at the time consisted of over 140 teams split into several regional zones. In 1963 the team relegated to the third tier due to league structure reorganization and changed their name to Spartak Mogilev. In 1970 they dropped to the fourth tier, but the next year were brought back to the third, both times due to further league reorganizations. In 1973 the club adopted their current name, Dnepr Mogilev. Dnepr would spend all subsequent Soviet-era seasons in the third-tier league, with one exception. In 1982 Anatoly Baidachny led Dnepr to winning their zone and then the final round between the zone winners and to promotion to the Soviet First League. The club, however, wasn't able to maintain their second-tier spot and relegated again the next year.

In 1992 Dnepr joined newly created Belarusian Premier League. Team's results in the post-Soviet years varied from being a runners-up in 1992 and champions in 1998 to the unfortunate relegation in 2011. Since then, Dnepr has come back and relegated again in 2014. As of 2015, Dnepr is playing in the Belarusian First League.
