FC Sfîntul Gheorghe^[1] is a Moldovan professional football club based in Suruceni, Moldova. They play in the Moldovan Super Liga, the top division in Moldovan football.

History

The club was formed in 2003. Until 2007, it was represented by seven youth teams, aged 10–18 years. In 2007, the Under-18 team became the champion of The Republic of Moldova. In 2008–2009, the club decided to enter the second tier of Moldovan football, the Divizia A.

In 2009, due to an excellent infrastructure of two stadiums, one with artificial turf and another with natural turf, the club met all the licensing criteria and obtained the "A" licence, which allowed the team to play in the Divizia Națională.
