The football team was founded in 1968 by football-loving people from the Brăneşti commune and played its entire history in the lower leagues of the Romanian football system.
The ascension of the club practically began in 2007 after the premiere promotion to Liga III.
After a first season in which Victoria's objective was to avoid relegation, and succeeded, finishing 8th, came the 2008–09 season where at the end the team celebrated a historic promotion to Liga II.
Like any new promoted team, the objective for the 2009–10 season was to finish as high in the table as possible.
The club exceeded all expectations by finishing 1st in the series, and promoted for the very first time in history to Liga I. This was a fantastic performance, the club succeeding, in only four years, to ascend from Liga IV to Liga I.
Brăneşti became the smallest locality to have ever played in Liga I, with only 8,531 inhabitants, beating the previous record which belonged to Scorniceşti.[2]
Victoria plays it home matches on the Cătălin Hîldan Stadium, which has a capacity of 3,000 seats.
The Liga I macthes were played on the Municipal Stadium in Buzău, because their did not meet the requirements for the first division.
