Fotbal Club Vaslui is a Romanian football club from Vaslui, which due to financial issues was relegated from Liga I, the top level of Romanian football, despite finishing 5th at the end of the season 2013–14. Formed in 2002 as Fotbal Club Municipal Vaslui, the club assumed its final name in 2014.
Following its promotion to Liga I in 2005, the club has become one of the most prominent in Romania. It has gained a European spot in each of the past five seasons, narrowly missing the championship in 2012, and losing its first Romanian Cup final in 2010. Since their foundation the club have finished each season in a higher rank than in the previous.
The official team colours are yellow and green, giving rise to the nickname yellow-greens, but lately their away strip consisted of white with black stripes.
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 he 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, decided to stop sponsoring the team, because of what he perceived as the Vaslui Municipality's lack of interest in the team. With a whole 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.
