==History==
{{for|the history of Dacia Pitești|FC Dacia Pitești}}

===First years and ascension (2000–2011)===
The club was founded in 2000 under the name ''AS Mioveni'' (Mioveni Sports Association). After one season in the [[Liga IV]], AS Mioveni merged with [[Dacia Pitești]] in 2001 and took its place in the [[Liga III]], while the club changed its name to ''AS Dacia Mioveni'', only to change it soon after that to ''CS Dacia Mioveni'' (Dacia Mioveni Sports Club).

In its first season of division football, Dacia finished 3rd in the [[Liga III]]. The next season however, the team finished top of series IV of the Liga III and therefore, in the summer of 2003 they promoted to the [[Liga II]] where they activated for four years without any outstanding performance.

At the end of the 2006–07 season, Dacia Mioveni finished runner-up in the [[Liga II]], Seria II, and promoted for the first time in history to the [[Liga I]].

Dacia's best performance was the only appearance in the [[Liga I]], in the [[Liga I 2007–08|2007–08]] season, when they finished 16th and were relegated. During the same season Dacia Mioveni reached the semi-finals of the [[Cupa României]], being eliminated by [[CFR Cluj]], after an impressive win in the quarterfinals against [[Dinamo București]], with 1–0.

In the summer of 2010 the club was renamed, ''CS Mioveni'' being the new name. The club officials took this decision because [[Automobile Dacia]] refused to sponsor the club, instead sponsoring Italian club [[Udinese Calcio]].{{citation needed|reason=The Udinese Calcio deal was made by Renault Italia SpA, the company that actually sells Dacia-badged cars in Italy, it is not clear how that could affect a potential deal from Romania-based Automobile Dacia S.A.|date=June 2018}}

Even if the club had finished the [[2010-11 Liga II]] season on the third position, the club promoted in the [[Liga I]] because the second placed [[FC Bihor Oradea (1958)|FC Bihor Oradea]] had problems with the licence.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.bihon.ro/decizie-frf-dacia-mioveni-a-promovat-baraj-intre-vointa-sibiu-si-sageata-navodari/939553 |title=Decizie FRF: Dacia Mioveni a promovat, baraj intre Vointa Sibiu |date=22 June 2011 |access-date=2011-06-22 |archive-date=2012-03-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120314191200/http://www.bihon.ro/decizie-frf-dacia-mioveni-a-promovat-baraj-intre-vointa-sibiu-si-sageata-navodari/939553 |url-status=live }}</ref>

===A second league constant and a new promotion (2011–present)===
CS Mioveni relegated again in the [[Liga II]] at the end of the [[2011–12 Liga I|2011–12]] edition, after finishing on the bottom of the league, with only 12 points won in 34 rounds. After this season, "the yellow and greens" spent no less than 9 years in the antechamber of the [[Romania]]n top-flight, the team from [[Automobile Dacia]]'s town becoming a classic of the [[Liga II]]. Most of the time, Mioveni was too good to relegate in the third tier, but not good enough to promote back in the first division. In these nine years, the club obtain the following rankings: 2nd ([[2014–15 Liga II|2014–15]]), 3rd ([[2019–20 Liga II|2019–20]]), 4th ([[2015–16 Liga II|2015–16]], [[2016–17 Liga II|2016–17]]), 7th ([[2018–19 Liga II|2018–19]]), 8th ([[2012–13 Liga II|2012–13]], [[2013–14 Liga II|2013–14]]) and 9th ([[2017–18 Liga II|2017–18]]).

Mioveni promoted back to the [[Liga I]] at the end of the [[2020–21 Liga II|2020–21]] season, when after a ranking on the 3rd place, they won the promotion/relegation play-offs (2–1 on aggregate) against top-flight club [[FC Hermannstadt]].<ref>{{Cite news|title=Hermannstadt - CS Mioveni 1-2 » S-a încheiat prima finală pentru Liga 1!
