The club was founded in 1960 asSpartak Brest and joined Soviet Class B (second-tier league) the same year. After the 1962 season, they were relegated as a result of league reorganization. They came close to promotion twice in 1964 and 1967 but lost the final round both times. They were finally promoted on their third attempt in 1969, but the following year they again dropped to the third tier due to league reorganization.[5] In 1972, the team was renamedBug Brest and finally, in 1976Dуnamo Brest. From 1970 until the end of the Soviet era, the club was playing in the Soviet third-tier league. Dynamo Brest had a strong connection withDinamo Minsk during these years (as both clubs were affiliated toDinamo Sports Society) and often accepted young Minsk team players on loan.[6]
In 1992, Dynamo Brest joined theBelarusian Premier League and have been playing there ever since. Their best result was a title in 2019 season, with 5 points of difference toBATE Borisov. In 2007, Dynamo Brest won theBelarusian Cup, also securing their onlyUEFA Cup participation. During the 2012 season, they were using the nameFC Brest due to legal issues with using aDynamo brand name the rights to which were claimed by BelarusianDynamo Sport Society. This issue was resolved only by the end of the year. In the 2017 season, Dinamo Brest drew an average home league attendance of 5,689, the highest in the league.[7]
