FC Torpedo-BelAZ Zhodino
Belarus · Founded: 1961
FC Torpedo-BelAZ Zhodino is a Belarusian football club based in the city of Zhodino, founded in 1961. The team currently competes in the Belarusian Premier League and plays its home matches at Torpedo Stadium. The club is sponsored by the Belarusian industrial company BelAZ, which is reflected in its name and long-standing financial support.
Historically, Torpedo-BelAZ has been a stable top-flight team in Belarusian football, though it is not among the most dominant clubs like BATE Borisov or Dinamo Minsk. During the Soviet era, the club achieved success in the Belarusian SSR competitions, winning several regional titles in the 1970s and 1980s. After Belarus gained independence, it spent time in lower divisions before returning to the Premier League in the early 2000s, where it has mostly remained since.
In modern times, the club is considered a competitive mid-table side with occasional strong seasons. Its biggest achievements include winning the Belarusian Cup twice (2015–16 and 2022–23) and the Belarusian Super Cup in 2024. Torpedo-BelAZ has also participated in UEFA Europa League and Conference League qualifying rounds, gaining experience on the European stage despite limited success there.
