Fotbal Club Buzău (Romanian pronunciation: [buˈzəw]), commonly known as FC Buzău or simply as Buzău, is a Romanian football club based in the city of Buzău, Buzău County, which competes in the Liga II.
Founded in the summer of 2016 as FC Buzău, it was renamed SCM Gloria Buzău two years later, simultaneously with its incorporation in the new sports club of the city. "The Squad from Crâng" started playing in the fifth tier and earned three consecutive promotions up to Liga II. In 2021, the team returned to the name of FC Buzău.
In spite of not holding the record of the old Gloria Buzău, local supporters consider it the main club of the city. Like its predecessor, FC Buzău plays its home matches on the 12,000-capacity Municipal Stadium.
History
FC Gloria Buzău (1973–2016)
Main article: FC Gloria BuzăuFC Gloria Buzău, the original football club of the city, was founded on 16 June 1973, by the Buzău County Local Council, as part of CSM Buzău (Clubul Sportiv Municipal) (En: Municipal Sports Club), the local all-sports association. Gloria absorbed the former team of Buzău, Metalul, whose place it also took in the Divizia C (currently Liga III). With Metalul's players, together with other local footballers (especially from another team, Șoimii), they ranked 1st in their first season of Divizia C. Gloria won the subsequent Divizia B promotion play-off tournament and thus won promotion in their first year of existence.
On 26 May 2016, the Romanian Football Federation fined 14 players and three managers of FC Gloria for match-fixing in the Liga II, in 10 matches between September 2014 and May 2015 and imposed a total ban of 174 months on them. At the end of the 2015–16 Liga II season, Gloria had to face Olimpia Satu Mare in a relegation play-off in June but the club did not compete after it did not have enough players to line up once the bans had come into effect. Along with these developments the club went into bankruptcy after decades of ups and downs, in which the club spent only seven seasons in the top-flight of the Romanian football, where it achieved as a best finish a 5th place.
First years and ascent (2016–present)
After the bankruptcy of FC Gloria Buzău, businessman Ionel Turturică founded a new club, FC Buzău, which was enrolled in the Liga V – Buzău County. After only one season, the new club, which also had players with many matches played for FC Gloria Buzău, promoted to Liga IV with a total of 63 points, 7 points ahead the second place.
In the summer of 2017 FC Buzău was renamed as SCM Gloria Buzău, as part of the city new sports club SCM Gloria Buzău, and at the end of the 2017–18 season promoted again, this time in the Liga III.
In the 2018–19 season of Liga III SCM Gloria managed to promote for the third consecutive year, this time in the Liga II, after winning the first series of the third tier, series in which they had tough matches against teams such as Oțelul Galați, Foresta Suceava, Bucovina Rădăuți or Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț, under these conditions "the red and blues" suffered their first defeat only in the last round, having the best run of all the series winners.
After two seasons in the Liga II ended with middle table rankings, SCM Gloria Buzău was renamed again as FC Buzău, in order to get a Liga I licence, provided that SCM Gloria was a public entity, but FC Buzău is a public-private partnership, a partnership that is legally eligible for a top-flight licence.
