[3][4] The club was founded in 1960 as Spartak Brest and joined Soviet Class B (second-tier league) the same year.

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.

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.

Their rivals are all left-wing fans, FC Gomel, Dnepr Mogilev, Shakhtyor Soligorsk, Slavia Mozyr, Belshina Bobruisk, Torpedo Minsk and Neman Grodno.
