It was established in 1947 during the building of Minsk Tractor Works as a sport section for construction workers and later for local factory personal. The club won the Belarusian SSR League in 1948 and 1949. From 1949 till 1957 they were known as Torpedo-MTZ Minsk (Tarpeda-MTZ) and from 1958 till early 1960s as MTZ Minsk.
