Viitorul Caransebeș is a Romanian professional football club from Caransebeş, Caraș-Severin County, Romania, It was founded in 2006 as Scorilo Caransebeș. The club was dissolved in 2015 and refounded in the summer of 2016.
The first football game played in Caransebeș was in 1913 between the sports club of the Romanian students who were studying in Budapest and young members of the Hungarian athletic club in Caransebeș. The score was 6-1 for the Romanian students who were studying in Budapest.
Between 1913 and 1944 were played only friendly matches between local teams or against teams from the region. In 1944 appeared the first professional football club, CFR Caransebeș. The team was a meteoric presence in Divizia C until the mid-60's when it started to become a regular member of this level, but with no important results. In the same period another club appeared, Victoria Caransebeș, a club with also a regular presence at Divizia C in that period, period in which the town of Caransebeș had two teams at this level. In 1972 both teams relegated, but CFR promoted back one year later and played in the third league, this time until 1976 when the club relegated again.
From 1976 a new club started to have good results in Divizia D-Caraș-Severin, CPL Caransebeș. From 1976 to 1979 was an important battle for the supremacy at county level and city level between CFR and CPL. CFR won in 77' and 78' but could not win the promotion play-offs, but in 79' CPL won Divizia D and also the promotion play-off, with a 5-1 on aggregate against Gorj County champion, Petrolul Țicleni. CFR promoted also next year and 1980–81 Divizia C season found again at its start two teams from Caransebeș, this thime CPL and CFR. CFR finished on 10th place, but CPL relegated after finishing only on th 15th place, out of 16th.
In 1981 CFR Caransebeș merged with its old rival Victoria and formed CFR Victoria Caransebeș, name under which it evolved until 1987 when it returns to its old name, CFR Caransebeș. In this time, a league down, two teams could not match with CFR's dominance and in 1983 ICM (Întreprinderea de Construcţii Metalice) Caransebeș, the football team of the Metal Construction Company, a team with good results at this level and CPL (Combinatul de Prelucrare a Lemnului), the football team of the Wood Processing Unit and also the old rival from the late 70's of CFR merged and formed a new team CSM (Workers Sports Club) Caransebeș. CSM promoted at the end of its first season in this new formula after a play-off match against CFR Simeria, won 3-2 on aggregate.
