Asociația Sportivă Ardealul 2013 Târgu Mureș, commonly known as ASA Târgu Mureș, is a Romanian professional football club based in Târgu Mureș, Mureș County, currently playing in the Liga I.
It was founded in 2008 as FCM Târgu Mureș. In 2013, the club changed its name from Fotbal Club Municipal (FCM) to Asociația Sportivă Ardealul (ASA).
ASA Târgu Mureș won their first major trophy in 2015, after defeating Steaua București in the Supercupa României.
The team was founded in 2004 under the name of Trans-Sil Târgu Mureș and in 2008 summer changed the name to FCM Târgu Mureș, becoming the city's main football team, as a successor to CS Târgu Mureș (dissolved in 1960), Mureșul Târgu Mureș (dissolved in 1964), and the original ASA Târgu Mureș (dissolved in 2005). They bought a spot from the newly promoted Unirea Sânnicolau Mare, consequently playing in the 2008–09 Liga II. FCM outperformed the predictions and played well throughout the season, winning 16 games and drawing 9, while scoring 54 goals and receiving 27, the fewest in the Seria II. At the end of the season, the team was very close to promote to the Liga I, finishing third with 57 points.
The following season, the club finished first in their series with 69 points, winning 20 games, drawing 9 and losing 3. The team scored 52 goals and received 20 (the fewest goals received in their series, like the year before) and was promoted for the very first time in its history to the Liga I. Eighteen years had passed since the city's last presence in the Romanian top football league (1991–92 season with ASA).
