FC Dynamo Brest (Belarusian: ФК Дынама Брэст; Russian: ФК Динамо Брест) is a Belarusian football club based in Brest. The club plays in the Belarusian Premier League, the top division in Belarusian football.
The club was founded in 1960 as Spartak Brest and joined Soviet Class B (second-tier league) the same year. After 1962 season they were relegated as a result of league reorganization. They were close to promotion twice (in 1964 and 1967) but lost the final round both times. They finally got promoted from the third attempt (1969), but the following year they again dropped to the third tier due to league reorganization. In 1972 the team was renamed to Bug Brest and finally, in 1976 to Dуnamo Brest. From 1970 till the end of Soviet era the club was playing in the Soviet third-tier league. Dynamo Brest had a strong connection with Dinamo Minsk during these years (as both clubs were affiliated to Dinamo Sports Society) and often accepted young Minsk team players on loan.
In 1992 Dynamo Brest joined Belarusian Premier League and have been playing there ever since. Their best result was a third place in inaugural 1992 season, and they were finishing in the middle and bottom parts of the table ever since. In 2007 Dynamo Brest won Belarusian Cup, also securing their only UEFA Cup participation. During 2012 season they were using the name FC Brest due to legal issues with using a Dynamo brand name the rights to which were claimed by Belarusian Dynamo Sport Society. This issue was resolved only by the end of the year.
The first organised fan group was created on 1 August 1998, and the fanatical stand can hold around 200-500 fanatics. An ultras group was created in 2008. The fans call themselves the Blue White Devils. They are politically right-wing.
