FC Florești

Early years (2003-2019)

Florești were founded in 2003. They played in the third tier until they were promoted in 2017 after finishing 5 points ahead of 2nd place CF Soroca. In 2019, they were promoted to the top division.

First years in Divizia Nationala (2019-2022)

In preparation for the first season in their first top-flight season, FC Floresti transferred 7 players and loaned 3 players: Alexandru Zveaghințev, Serghei Diulgher, Serghei Bobrov, Igor Bugaiov, Constantin Mandrîcenco, Dumitru Semirov, the experienced Ion Arabadji. Vladimir Covenco, Vladislav Liharev and Andrei Calac were loaned from Sheriff Tiraspol. In their opening Divizia Nationala game, Floresti played against the now defunct Dinamo-Auto, losing 3–1. Igor Bugaiov would score in the 79th minute for Floresti. The club's first ever win would come on 7 July 2020, against relegation favourites Codru Lozova, with the score of 1–0. The team would finish a respectable 7th place.

Floresti started weak in the next season. A narrow 1–0 loss with Petrocub, then a heavy loss, 0–4, with relegation opponent Zimbru. To add to the problems, Serghei Diulgher, the captain of the team, would leave the team, going to Iceland. There were also rumors of Match fixing plaguing the club. Shockingly, the club was expelled from the Divizia Nationala on 17 January 2021, after match-fixing allegations.
