Fotbal Club Argeș Pitești (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈard͡ʒeʃ piˈteʃtʲ]), commonly known as FC Argeș or Argeș Pitești, is a Romanian professional football club based in Pitești, Argeș County, currently playing in the Liga II.
Nicknamed "the White-Violet Eagles", the team was founded in 1953 as Dinamo Pitești. Its most successful period was in the 1970s, when it won the national championship twice.
FC Argeș traditionally plays its home matches at the Nicolae Dobrin Stadium, which has a capacity of 15,000.
On August 6, 1953, an order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs settled the birthday of Dinamo Piteşti, the current formation FC Argeş, the name being taken after the older sister from Bucharest, Dinamo București. The new team from Pitești started its rise from the bottom, Campionatul Orășenesc, today Liga IV or Liga V, but the involvement of the local administration in bringing the best football players from the city to FC Argeș will be the main factor in the consecutive promotions of the club. The promotion to Divizia B has occurred at the end of the 1958-1959 Divizia C season, and in the first year was very close to Divizia A promotion, but Dinamo occupied only the second place of the second series of Divizia B. The dream took shape for the football fans from Pitești in the next season. In 1961 Dinamo Pitești promoted on the first Romanian football stage under the command of coaches Ştefan Vasile and Tănase Dima. Three of the most well-known members of the squad were Ion Barbu, Florin Halagian and Nicolae Dobrin, the players who contributed the most at Dinamo's performance. 1961–62 Divizia A season was a tough one for the club which accused the shock of the debut and relegated back to Divizia B after only one year in the first league.
