FC Maxline Vitebsk is a Belarusian football club based in Vitebsk. Until 2023, the club represented Rahachow.

History

The team was founded in 1983 as Avtomobilist Rogachev (Awtamabilist Rahachow,) and was renamed to KSM Rogachev (KBM Rahachow,) next year. Since its foundation and until the dissolution of Soviet Union the team was playing in Belarusian SSR league. In 1988, they were renamed to Dnepr Rogachev (Dnyapro Rahachow,).

In 1992, the team joined newly created Belarusian Second League, where they spent next six seasons. After successful 1996 season Dnepr was promoted to the First League. In 1998, they were renamed to FC Rogachev, in 2001, after partnering with local football academy, to Rogachev-DUSSh-1 and finally to Dnepr-DUSSh-1 Rogachev in 2002.

The team spent nine seasons in First League until they finished at the last (16th) place in 2005 and were to be relegated back to the Second League. However, due to financial troubles, the team disbanded in early 2006.

Between 2007 and 2013 the amateur team representing Rogachev played in Gomel Oblast league. In 2014, the team reformed as MKK-Dnepr Rogachev (MKK-Dnyapro Rahachow,)and rejoined Second League, before reverting to classic name Dnepr Rogachev (Dnyapro) in 2015.

Maxline takeover

In 2021 the team was re-branded into Maxline Rogachev, after being taken over by the eponymous betting company. In the fall of 2022 Maxline defeated Arsenal Dzerzhinsk in the promotion/relegation play-off and won the right to be promoted to Belarusian Premier League for the 2023 season. During the off-season, Maxline were denied Premier League license and stayed in the First League as the result. In early 2023 the club cut ties with Rogachev and relocated to Vitebsk with the intention of having better chances for promotion in the bigger city with better infrastructure.[1]
