Soligorsk, Belarus

FC Shakhtyor Soligorsk (, ) was a Belarusian football club, playing in the city of Salihorsk (Soligorsk).

History

The club was founded in 1961. During Soviet era, Shakhtyor Soligorsk played in the top or second division of the Belarusian SSR league, occasionally dropping to lower tiers (Minsk Oblast league) for a short time. In 1971, Shakhtyor absorbed two other local Soligorsk teams (Khimik and Gornyak). Their best results came toward the end of Soviet days, when the team finished as league runners-up twice (1988, 1990) and won the Belarusian SSR Cup three times (1985, 1986, 1988).

Since 1992, Shakhtyor has been playing in Belarusian Premier League. The team struggled through the 1990s, usually fighting against relegation. In 1997, they finished at the last place in the league, but were saved from relegation after two other Premier League clubs withdrew.

After a transitory 1998 season, they never finished below 6th place and became a staple European Cups participant from 1999 to 2022. Shakhtyor Soligorsk became the champions of Belarus in 2005, 2020 and 2021, and were league runners-up six times (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2018). They also won the Belarusian Cup three times (2004, 2014, and 2019).

On May 11, 2023, following a match-fixing scandal, the club was stripped of the 2022 league title and received a 30-point deduction for the following campaign, as well as an additional 20-point deduction the campaign afterwards.

At the end of the 2024 season, after finishing in last place, they were relegated for the first time in the Belarusian championship.

In March 2025, the club failed to submit documents for licensing to participate in the First League. The club was later disbanded due to non-payment of debts.
