Zakhar Vladimirovich Volkov (Belarusian: Захар Уладзіміравіч Волкаў, Zakhar Uladzіmіravіch Volkaw; Russian: Захар Владимирович Волков; born 12 August 1997) is a Belarusian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Belarusian Premier League club Maxline Vitebsk and for the Belarus national team.[2]

Club career

On 6 August 2020, the BFF banned Volkov from Belarusian football for 2 years for his involvement in the match fixing during his time in Naftan.[3] The ban was later extended to all FIFA-approved competitions. In September 2021, the remaining year of his suspension was indefinitely delayed by BFF and he was able to return on pitch in domestic competitions.[4]

On 20 January 2022, he joined Russian Premier League club Khimki on loan until the end of the 2021–22 season.[5]

On 26 March 2025, Volkov signed with Maxline Vitebsk.[6]
