History
The best known players are: Florea Voicila (once a player on the Romanian Olympic team) and Florica Mitroi - both home-grown players. Their best performance was 3rd place in the Romanian second league in 1982, above Rapid Bucharest ("Noi n-am uitat ca-n '82/ Voi ne-ati purtat prin Paradis/ Dupa Rapid erati si voi/ Pe locul 3, si n-a fost vis"-catren al regretatului dr. Jean Sardu...)
The club formed players like Valentin Bădoi, Sorin Paraschiv, Dan Balauru and Valentin Badea. These players played at the top level for the Romania national football team.
In 2009 the club lost the promotion playoff for the Romanian third division against Comprest Bucharest, losing 2-1. In spite of losing the playoff, the club managed to promote by an administrative decision; the Romanian Football Association announced that FCM Alexandria would play in 2010 in Liga III, Seria IV.
In the 2009-2010 season FCM finished in the middle of the table in eighth place.
In 2013 the club was relegated to the 4th division, Liga IV.
