History

Since 1964 the team was playing at the 3rd level of Soviet football system almost constantly, excluding two seasons (1968 and 1969) spent on 2nd level. They were close to get the promotion in 1966 and 1980, but lost the final tournament between 3rd level zone winners on both occasions.

Since 1992 Neman plays in Belarusian Premier League. In 1993 they won Belarusian Cup. The most successful years for the team were early 2000s, when they finished 4th twice in a row before finishing 2nd in 2002 after losing 1st place play-off against BATE Borisov.
