Club Sportiv Municipal Flacăra Moreni, (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈflakəra moˈrenʲ]), commonly known as Flacăra Moreni or simply as Flacăra, is a Romanian football club based in Moreni, Dâmbovița County.

The team was founded by English and Dutch engineers from the local oil rig as Astra-Română Moreni in 1922. During the communist period, Flacăra was taken over by the Securitate with the involvement of director Tudor Postelnicu, who had previously worked as an iron lathe operator in the city.

In the 1988–89 season, the club finished fourth in the top flight and earned a place in the UEFA Cup. Flacăra lost 1–4 to Porto on aggregate in the first round, and at the end of that campaign was relegated as a result of the fall of communism. It has since only played in the lower leagues.

History

The club was founded in 1922 by English and Dutch engineers from the local oil rig of Astra Română refinery under the name of Astra Română Moreni to encourage the workers and employees to practice sports. In 1950 changed its name to Partizanul Moreni as in 1951 to Flacăra Moreni.

After a merger with the local rival Automecanica Moreni in the year 1977 it was called Flacăra Automecanica Moreni, but in 1985 changed again to Flacăra Moreni.

Flacăra Moreni mostly played in the Divizia B and the Divizia C, but in the year 1986 they were promoted to Divizia A. In the 1988–89 season they finished in 4th place. This meant qualification in the following season for the UEFA Cup, in which Flacăra Moreni in the first round was eliminated against FC Porto 4–1 on aggregate.

In the 1990–91 season, Flacăra were relegated from Divizia A. After the relegation from the Divizia B in 1995 and from Divizia C in 2007 Flacăra played in the Liga IV. Flacăra were promoted to the Liga III for the 2016–17 season.
