About CSM Flacăra Moreni

CSM Flacăra Moreni is a Romanian football club from Moreni in Dâmbovița County, founded in 1922 by English and Dutch engineers of the local oil refinery as Astra Română Moreni. It became Partizanul Moreni in 1950 and Flacăra Moreni a year later; after a merger with local rival Automecanica in 1977 it played as Flacăra Automecanica Moreni before returning to the name Flacăra Moreni in 1985. The club plays in yellow and blue at the Flacăra Stadium.

During the communist era the club enjoyed the backing of the Securitate and rose to the top flight in the 1980s. Its best season was 1988–89, when it finished fourth in the Divizia A and qualified for the UEFA Cup, where it lost to Porto in the first round of the 1989–90 competition.

After the fall of communism Flacăra lost its support and was relegated at the end of the 1989–90 season. Since then the club has played only in the lower divisions of Romanian football.
