In the first season, 2001–02, in the Ilfov County Championship, missed the direct promotion in front of Sportul Ciorogârla, but managing to reach the Liga III after he bought the place from Conired Pucioasa and it soon made way from the Liga III to the Liga I.
In 2008 the team on the outskirts of Bucharest managed the biggest performance in the club's history, namely promoting to the Liga I finishing as runners-up in the 2007–08 season. Because its own stadium in Otopeni didn't meet the licensing conditions for the first league, the team played its matches on Astra Stadium in Ploiești.
It didn't achieve much in Romania's top football division, finishing next to last at the end of 2008–09 season and relegating back to the Liga II.
The following seasons it finished 6th, 6th, 12th and 4th in the second division.
