Boardroom23 Nov 2026

Vitebsk have won it

This is the season the town will measure the next twenty against. The trophy travels home with the squad, and the route through the streets was agreed days ago.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Roman Lisovskiy damages knee ligaments — 16 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 16 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match18 Nov 2026

Vitebsk through in the cup

A 2‑1 win over Naftan, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Zakhar Chervyakov says Vitebsk went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Vitebsk

Mikhail Bashilov was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

The game went through Alexandr Burnos — 7.02

Marked 7.02 on 13 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Erik Midtgarden falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Alexandr Anufriev was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.06. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Loan watch23 Nov 2026

Brian Leroy Onana has seen enough of Molodechno

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Vitebsk, and 1 appearances in 11 say he has earned the hearing.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad5 Oct 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Roman Lisovskiy

68 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Vitebsk lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market5 Oct 2026

Dmitriy Kharitonov has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Vitebsk they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Erik Midtgarden wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Vitebsk know it.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Mikhail Bashilov in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Vitebsk this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad5 Oct 2026

The manager has not finished forgetting Mikhail Bashilov's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Market5 Oct 2026

Vitebsk add cover with Santiago Chala

It is the least glamorous business a club does and the reason seasons do not collapse in February. Santiago Chala is here for the weeks when three men are injured and somebody still has to play.
