Fotbal Club Vaslui, commonly known as FC Vaslui or simply Vaslui, is a Romanian professional football club based in the city of Vaslui, Vaslui County, currently playing in the Liga IV.
The club was formed in 2002 as Fotbal Club Municipal Vaslui, being one of the most prominent in the country from its promotion to the Liga I in 2005 and until its relegation in 2014 due to financial issues. Vasluienii have earned a European spot in five consecutive seasons, narrowly missed the league championship in 2012, and lost a Cupa României final in 2010.
The official club colours are yellow and green, hence the nickname "the Yellow-Greens".
On 20 July 2002, the newly promoted Divizia C side Victoria Galați moved to Vaslui, after an agreement between Marius Stan and the Vaslui Municipality to use the Municipal Stadium. Ioan Sdrobiș was appointed as team manager, and the main squad was formed from Dunărea Galați players. The club also changed its name to Fotbal Club Municipal Vaslui, or FC Vaslui for short. Their main objective was to achieve the promotion in Divizia B. Soon after their foundation, Adrian Porumboiu took over the club and immediately changed the colours of the team's strip from white and blue to yellow and green, the same as those used by his company. At the end of the season, despite the achievement of promotion, Marius Stan, the club president, resigned and Adrian Porumboiu, the club owner, opted to stop sponsoring the team because of what he perceived as the Vaslui Municipality's lack of interest in the side. With an entirely new management team, the objective for the newly promoted Divizia B team was to avoid relegation. With a strong start to the season and with Adrian Porumboiu back at the club, the objective was changed from avoiding relegation to promotion to Divizia A. The club managed to secure promotion the following season, setting a new record by being the club promoted to Divizia A in the quickest time, only three years after their foundation.
