In February 2022 Rukh withdrew from Premier League league, citing financial troubles caused by international sanctions upon club's owner Alexander Zaytsev and an undisclosed Russian company co-owning the club. Despite announced intentions to play in the Second League in 2022 season, the club withdrew shortly after the calendar draw and the senior team disbanded.
Following the dissolution of their main team, the club's youth section continued participation in the domestic competitions under the new name Football Center. In 2023 Football Center joined Belarusian Second League.
