V. Fedotov

Fedotov's name entered the conversation around the Belarusian Premier League in the spring of 2026, after his first goal for Baranovichi. In a 1-1 draw against Slavia Mozyr, he found the net and was named BETCITY Player of the Match; the goal itself was later picked among the top five of the round, and the Belarusian Football Federation included him in its Symbolic Team for that matchday.

His path there was not a direct one. Fedotov grew up in Bukachacha, in Zabaykalsky Krai, and started out at the SDYUSSHOR academy in Krasnokamensk before spending his youth years at FC Chita. His senior debut came only in 2023, at FC Elektron Veliky Novgorod, where he made around sixteen or seventeen appearances. The following year took him somewhere unusual for a defender: he joined Amkal, playing in the Media Football League and the League Cup, before a further season in the same competition with FC Lotus in Moscow, where he made four appearances.

He signed for Baranovichi in March 2026, moving on a free transfer as with his previous switches.
