After three participations on SEHA F4 tournaments, with new reinforcements and a new coach, Belarus champions Meshkov Brest wish to make a final step forward in the upcoming season and celebrate as regional handball champions. 

Club will start the new season as SEHA runner up, keeping all key players, and signing three experienced players. SEHA - Gazprom League will be one of battlegrounds, as main target for club this season is also EHF Champions League. Meshkov play in C group alongside La Rioja, Chehovskie Medvedi, Porto, Vojvodina and Tatran Presov. This will be second year in a row for them among best European clubs.

Club will start the new season with an updated logo, meeting modern requirements in design and creating an emotional bond with the city.

New coach is Sergey Bebeshko with former coach Željko Babić parting company with the club and taking Croatian NT back at the end of the last season. Before Meshkov Bebeshko was coaching Dinamo Minsk and Motor Zaporozhye. Interesting is that many of his players from Minsk have after club's financial crash decided to continue their careers in Meshkov where Bebeshko will now coach them once again.

Janko Božović (Metalurg), Ivan Karačić (Minaur Baia Mare) and Oleg Astrashapkin (Vaci) have left the club this summer and Meshkov have managed to sign 5 players to replace them well enough - backs Pavel Atman, Dainis Kristopans, Aleksandar Tiomentsev and two Belarus players Andrea Yourinov and Artem Kulak.

Left back Pavel Atman played for El Jaish in Qatar, but is well known for his great seasons in Dinamo Minsk, Chehovskie Medvedi and Metalurg.

Latvian giant, left handed Dainis Kristopans (215 cm tall) will be real treat for rivals goalkeepers. He spent last few years as a member of Tatran Presov playing for Qatar's Al Rayyan for last few months.

Aleksander Tiomentsev will also strenghten back line. He came from Polish Orlen Wisla Plock.

Preparations have started a few weeks ago, and after basics in Slovenia where they will play Novo Mesto, Dubrava and Celje club will from August 21/23 in Brest host Belgazprombank Cup where they will compete against Orlen Wisla Plock, Azoty Pulavy and Neva Sankt Petersburg.
