BATE, an acronym of Borisov Works of Automobile and Tractor Electric Equipment, was founded in 1973 when part of the Soviet Union, and competed in the SSR Belarusian League. The club was re-established in 1996 in independent Belarus. Since 1996, BATE have won the Belarusian Premier League five times and competed in UEFA competitions. In 2001, BATE reached the first round of the UEFA Cup, their first appearance in the competition beyond the qualifying rounds. 2008 saw BATE beat Valur, R.S.C. Anderlecht and Levski Sofia to become the first Belarusian team to qualify for the group stages of the UEFA Champions League.[1] In a group also featuring Juventus, Real Madrid and Zenit St. Petersburg, BATE finished at the bottom with three points, having drawn against Zenit in Russia, and both games with Juventus[2].
Notable former players of BATE include Alexander Hleb (VfB Stuttgart, Arsenal, FC Barcelona), Vitali Kutuzov (AC Milan, Sporting CP, Avellino, Sampdoria, Parma FC, Pisa) and Yuri Zhevnov (FC Moscow). Having started their professional careers with BATE, all are also now members of the Belarus national team.
