Asociația Sportivă Fotbal Club Buzău (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈɡlori.a buˈzəw]), commonly known as FC Buzău or simply as Buzău, is a Romanian professional football club based in the city of Buzău, Buzău County, that competes in the Liga I.
The club was originally founded on 25 August 2016, following the dissolution of FC Gloria Buzău. FC Buzău promoted to the Liga I in 2024.
Known as "The Squad from Crâng," the team plays its home matches at the Municipal Stadium in Buzău, which has a capacity of 12,321 seats.
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. [1] 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. [2]
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. [3]
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. [4]
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. [5]
In the summer of 2022, the club received the rights to use the name Gloria Buzău non-commercially. [6]
The club plays its home matches on Municipal Stadium from Buzău, with a capacity of 12,321 seats. Municipal Stadium was opened in 1942, is located in the Crâng park, hence the nickname Crâng (Grove). The arena was renovated several times since its opening ceremony (1971–1976, 2005–2007, 2008). The last renovations works were made in the summer of 2018 when the pitch of the stadium was changed.
FC Buzău has many supporters in Buzău and especially in Buzău County. The ultras group of Gloria it is known as "Peluza Crâng". [7]
