History

The club was founded in 1961. During Soviet era Shakhtyor Soligorsk was playing in top or second division of the Belarusian SSR league, occasionally dropping to lower tiers for a short time. In 1971, Shakhtyor absorbed two other local Soligorsk teams. Their best results came at the end of Soviet days, when the team finished as league runners-up twice and won the Belarusian SSR Cup three times.
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, the era of club's success began. Since 1999, they have never finished below 6th place and became a staple European Cups participant. Shakhtyor Soligorsk became the champions of Belarus in 2005, and were league runners-up six times. They also won the Belarusian Cup three times.
