Fotbal Club Viitorul Constanța (Romanian pronunciation: [vi.iˈtorul konˈstant͡sa]; The Future Constanța Football Club), commonly known as Viitorul Constanța, or simply as Viitorul, is a Romanian professional football club based in the city of Constanța, Constanța County, currently playing in the Liga I.

Founded in 2009 by former Romanian international Gheorghe Hagi, the club is particularly known for promoting young talents, hence the nickname "Hagi's Kids".

Viitorul Constanța was founded in the summer of 2009 and enrolled in the Liga III, the third tier of the Romanian football league system, after acquiring the playing right of CSO Ovidiu. It has been owned since its creation by former Romanian international footballer, Gheorghe Hagi. Viitorul is best known for developing young players in Romania and possesses the top youth facilities of any club in the country.

During the team's first season in Romanian football, they achieved mathematical promotion to the 2010–11 Liga II after round 33, being in a fierce run with ACS Berceni near the end of the campaign. In the 2011–12 Liga II, Viitorul finished second in the table and prepared to compete in the top-flight.

In the 2012–13 season, Viitorul Constanța made its first appearance in the Liga I in club history. With 8 victories, 12 draws, and 13 defeats (36 points) they finished on the 13th place and avoided relegation. The club's first major victories were against FC Steaua București (5–2) and FC Dinamo București (3–2). Viitorul would move to avoid relegation in the next 2 seasons.
