Foresta Fălticeni was a Romanian professional football club from Fălticeni, Suceava County, Romania, founded in 1954 and dissolved in 2003.

History

The club was founded in 1954 in Fălticeni under the name of Avântul Fălticeni.

Foresta played one Romanian Cup final against Steaua Bucureşti at the end of the 1966–67 season, but lost, 0-6.

In 1997 the club was moved to Suceava after it won promotion to the Divizia A for the first time in history. Another reason for the move was, that the main team in the city, CSM Suceava, had failed to achieve any notable performances during the previous decade.

During the 3 seasons it spent in Divizia A, a notable match was played against Dinamo Bucureşti in which Dinamo was leading with 4-0 in the 70th minute, only to see Foresta comeback and win 5-4 in the end. The man of those 20 minutes was Robert Nita who scored 2 goals.

Before it was dissolved in 2003 it moved back to Fălticeni to play the last matches in its history there.
