'''Asociația Sportivă a Suporterilor FCM 1950 Bacău''' (also known as '''ASS FCM 1950 Bacău''', '''FCM 1950 Bacău''' or '''FCM Bacău''') was a Romanian [[association football|football]] [[football team|club]] based in [[Bacău]], [[Bacău County]], [[Moldavia]]. Founded in 1950 as ''Dinamo Bacău'', the club spent 42 seasons in the top-flight of the [[Romanian football league system|Romanian football]], winning a [[Cupa Ligii|Romanian League Cup]] and qualifying for [[UEFA|European competitions]] such as the [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup|Cup Winners' Cup]] and the [[UEFA Intertoto Cup|Intertoto Cup]]{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}.

In the early 2010s, the club entered in a shadowy cone due to the conflict between the team's owner, Dumitru Sechelariu (former mayor of [[Bacău]]) and the newly elected mayor, who chose to retire the public financing of the team and to sustain [[ACS Gauss Bacău|SC Bacău]]{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}. Health problems, and subsequently, the premature death of Dumitru Sechelariu in early 2013, multiplied the existing financial problems of the club. This caused FCM Bacău to withdraw from the beginning of the [[2013–14 Liga III]] season, before dissolving later on{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}.

In 2017, the Supporters Association of FCM Bacău, supported by Sergiu Sechelariu, brother of Dumitru and legal owner of the "FCM 1950 Bacău brand", started a collaboration with [[ACS Gauss Bacău|Gauss Bacău]] (former SC Bacău) team also left in the meantime without financing by the municipality, but the collaboration broken in the summer of 2018 and after a year of inactivity, the fans (supported again by Sechelariu's brother) started a new project named '''ASS FCM 1950 Bacău''' and enrolled the senior squad in the [[Liga IV]]{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}.

==History==
==={{anchor|First}}Early years (1950–1992)===
[[File:Dinamo Bacău (fotbal) 1967.jpg|thumb|left|270px|{{center|The club played under the name ''Dinamo Bacău'' from 1950 until 1970]] 
[[File:FCM Bacău League Performance.svg|thumb|upright=1.4|alt=See caption|Chart of Bacău's yearly table positions in the national leagues]]
FCM Bacău was founded in 1950 as Dinamo Bacău under the [[Ministry of Internal Affairs (Romania)|Ministry of Internal Affairs]] with other clubs which bore the name "Dinamo". Its management decided to separate from the ministry, renaming it Sport Club Bacău and adding [[Sport of athletics|athletics]] and [[tennis]].<ref name="urban">{{cite web|url=https://urbanbacau.ro/2019/02/12/obiectiv-bacaul-f-c-m-bacau/|title=Obiectiv, Bacăul!

The team first appeared in Romania's first league during the [[1956 Divizia A|1956]] season, after which they were then relegated to the second division. Returning to Divizia A, they finished fifth in [[1968–69 Divizia A|1968–69]] and qualified for the [[Inter-Cities Fairs Cup|Fairs Cities' Cup]] (the precursor of the [[UEFA Cup]] and the [[UEFA Europa League]]). At the time, Bacău's roster included [[Emerich Dembrovschi]], Nicolae Vătafu, Petre Băluță, Artistică Ghiță, and Daniel Ene. Bacău advanced to the second round against [[Skeid Fotball]], which had eliminated [[West Germany]]'s [[TSV 1860 Munich|1860 Munich]]. Bacău advanced again, defeating the Scottish club [[Kilmarnock F.C.]] In the quarter-finals, Bacău played [[Arsenal F.C.]] club.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://echipedetraditie.ro/inceputurile-lui-fcm-bacau/|title=Începuturile lui FCM Bacău|trans-title=The beginnings of FCM Bacău|publisher=echipedetraditie.ro|language=ro|date=24 October 2019}}</ref>

After making the quarterfinals of the Fairs Cities' Cup, the ''băcăuanii'' also did well in the domestic championship; at the end of the [[1972–73 Divizia A|1972–73]] season, SC Bacău (the club's name from 1970 to 1990) finished in fourth place (the best in club history). Sport Club played well in the [[Cupa României]], where, after the [[Romanian Revolution]], they reached the final at the end of the [[1990–91 Cupa României|1990–91]] season before losing 2–1 to [[CS Universitatea Craiova|Universitatea Craiova]]. Universitatea Craiova was also the winner of [[Liga I|Divizia A]] that season, which allowed the yellow-and-blues to qualify for the second and final time in a European competition (the UEFA Cup). FC Bacău was drawn to meet [[SV Werder Bremen|Werder Bremen]], which would defeat [[AS Monaco FC|AS Monaco]] 2–0 in the [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup|Cup Winners' Cup]]. Werder Bremen was a tall, strong, cosmopolitan squad; FC Bacău was a little-known team with serious financial problems.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://echipedetraditie.ro/bacaul-post-decembrist/|title=FC Bacău dă piept cu Werder Bremen|trans-title=FC Bacău faces Werder Bremen|publisher=echipedetraditie.ro|language=ro|date=26 October 2019}}</ref>

From 1992 to 2006, the team remained in [[Liga I|Divizia A]] as Selena, AS and FCM; Dumitru Sechelariu was its owner.<ref name="urban"/> It was a period of relative growth; the team finished 11th in [[1995–96 Divizia A|1995–96]] (when they won 5–1 at [[Stadionul Steaua (1974)|Steaua Stadium]]), fifth in [[1996–97 Divizia A|1996–97]], 10th in [[1997–98 Divizia A|1997–98]], fifth in [[1998–99 Divizia A|1998–99]], and eighth in [[1999–2000 Divizia A|1999–2000]]. They were relegated in the summer of 2001 after a relegation play-off against [[FC Farul Constanța|Farul Constanța]].<ref name="urban"/> The [[2001–02 Divizia A|2001–02]] season began with high hopes, great investments and a 4–2 win against [[FC Dinamo București|Dinamo București]] before a sixth place. After 2002, FCM Bacău was in the lower part of the tables and was relegated to [[Liga II]] at the end of the [[2005–06 Divizia A|2005–06]] season. Sechelariu referred to FCM Bacău as "my child", "dear", but also "disabled".<ref name="urban"/>

At the end of the [[2006–07 Liga II|2006–07]] season, the team finished in fifth place; in the [[2007–08 Liga II|following season]], they were one step away from relegation to the third tier. For the [[2009–10 Liga II|2009–10]] season, the team focused on promotion to [[Liga I]]; due to financial problems and misunderstandings between Dumitru Sechelariu and the municipal council, FCM was relegated to [[Liga III]] after [[Forfeit (sport)|forfeiting]] two matches.<ref name="urban"/>

The municipality of Bacău registered the team for the following season in [[Liga III]] as SCM Bacău.<ref name="urban"/> On 9 June 2010, it was announced that a new club would be developed by the municipality; Sechelariu became a minority shareholder. The new management of the yellow-and-blues decided to change their name to SC FCM Bacău SA and terminate the contracts of former AS FCM Bacău players. FCM Bacău was promoted to Liga II in 2011, finishing seventh the following season. Before the next season, the players left the club for financial reasons (most for [[FC Botoșani]]) and Sechelariu transferred the club entirely to the municipality. With the team facing relegation to the third league, the municipality decided to stop investing in the club and re-direct public financing to CS Mesagerul Bacău (which would be renamed [[ACS Gauss Bacău|SC Bacău]]). After Sechelariu's declining health and death in early 2013, the club withdrew from the league at the start of the season and was dissolved.<ref name="urban"/>

===Supporters, the last hope (2017–2020)===
The Supporters Association of FCM Bacău, supported by Sergiu Sechelariu (Dumitru's brother and owner of the FCM 1950 Bacău brand), began a collaboration with Gauss Bacău (the former SC Bacău) in 2017. The collaboration broke down during the summer of 2018; after a year of inactivity, fans (supported again by Sergiu Sechelariu) began the ASS FCM 1950 Bacău. They enrolled the senior squad in Liga IV, but the team was again dissolved at the end of the 2019–20 season.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://unupetrotus.ro/exploziv-gauss-da-cartile-pe-fata-dedesubturile-afacerii-si-un-anunt-soc-este-cert-ca-acs-gauss-bacau-nu-se-va-inscrie-in-liga-a-3-a/|title=EXPLOZIV: Gauss dă cărțile pe față!

==Grounds==
[[File:BacauStadium.jpg|250px|thumbnail|right|Stadionul Municipal]]
{{Main|Stadionul Municipal (Bacău)}}
Until 1966 FCM Bacău (named ''Dinamo Bacău'') used to play its home matches on Steaua Roșie Stadium, with a capacity of 5,000 people, but moved subsequently on the [[Stadionul Municipal (Bacău)|Municipal Stadium]] in [[Bacău]], with a capacity of 17,500 seats. Seen as a coquettish stadium of the country, especially during Sechelariu's era, when the owner of the team Dumitru Sechelariu renovated and modernized it and assured the installation of a floodlight system. Between 2001 and 2004, the stadium was named as ''Dumitru Sechelariu'', after the name of the eccentric businessman, mayor of Bacău and owner of FCM. The death of Sechelariu meant the death of football from [[Bacău]], after FCM, the stadium was also abandoned, being the victim of an unsuccessful modernization project. The stadium which is situated in the center of the city and was only some time ago the home of FCM is now a ruin.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.telekomsport.ro/galerie-foto-asa-arata-bataia-de-joc-in-bacau-candva-unul-dintre-cele-mai-frumoase-stadioane-din-tara-acum-o-ruina-18215179|title=Aşa arată bătaia de joc în Bacău.
