History

Sport Club Popești-Leordeni was founded in 2011 under the name of CS Popești-Leordeni, in order to continue the football tradition in town after the dissolution of more known Inter Gaz București and of Viscofil Popești-Leordeni. After a first year in which the team succeeded to promote from Liga V to Liga IV, followed two years in a row in the fourth tier, but the white and reds missed the Liga III promotion play-off. Eventually, the club found another solution and in 2013 merged with newly promoted club Gloria Cornești, which was absorbed by CS, the new entity being named Gloria Popești-Leordeni.[1]

In 2016 Gloria Popești-Leordeni was renamed as SC Popești-Leordeni.[2]

In the first year of existence, SC Popești-Leordeni played its home matches on Viscofil Stadium, in Popești-Leordeni, with a capacity of 3,000 people, then moving on Inter Gaz Stadium, after its renovation. Inter Gaz Stadium has a capacity of 1,000 seats and was the home ground of defunct Inter Gaz București.[1]
