History

The club was founded in 1970 and has played for 5 seasons in the Liga I.

For a brief period, it was Galaţi's main team, but after the rise of Oţelul in the 1980s, it is seen only in the Liga II and the Liga III.

They were supposed to be relegated to Liga III at the end of the 2007-08 season, but they managed to maintain their second league position due to the withrawal of FCM Câmpina.

The 2009-10 season started well, the team reaching the Round of 32 of the Romanian Cup, being eliminated by cup holders CFR Cluj. They finished 11th in the league.
