Juventus Bucureşti was a Romanian football (soccer) club based in the capital Bucharest

The team was founded in 1924 after the merger of Triumf Bucureşti and Romcomit Bucureşti. At the end of the 1929-30 season Juventus became champions. After the reorganisation of the Romanian football to a divisonary level, Juventus had 7 consecutive appearances in Liga I, from 1933 to 1940. After World War II the club succeeds to activate once again in Liga I, after 1st place in Liga II obtained before the war started. During 1946-1952 Juventus made 6 consecutive appearances in Liga I, changing its name a number of times: Distributia, Competrol, Petrolul, Partizanul and Flacăra. In 1952 the team was dissolved, and all of its players were moved to Ploieşti, forming a new team, Petrolul Ploieşti.

In 1992 a team with exactly the same name was founded, Juventus Bucureşti, but has no ties with the old club.
