The stadium opened in 1958 and served as the home ground for Torpedo Minsk football club for many decades. After the club was dissolved in 2005, another local team took over the facility and continues to use it today.
The stadium carries the name Torpedo, the sports society of the Soviet automotive and tractor industry.

The venue also hosts Belarusian youth and women's national team matches.
The ground stands at vulica Katoŭskaha 2 in Minsk, on the eastern side of the city.

Check the calendar before travelling, since the pitch is open-air and matches are played in all seasons.
In 2009 the stadium hosted matches of the UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship, including its final games. The ground also serves occasionally as a home venue for Belarus national youth and women's teams, so its fixture list goes beyond the men's club season.
