Midway through 1996 season Kimovets withdrew from the First League and was folded, while Dvina partnered with Lokomotiv Vitebsk to use them as a farm club.
Following the relegation to First League after 2011 season, FC Vitebsk decided to give their reserve squad competitive practice by re-creating a Second League reserve team under the name Vitebsk-2, as they were ineligible for participation in Belarusian Premier League Reserves Championship. This incarnation of Vitebsk-2 was active from 2012 till 2014.
