Clubul Sportiv Gaz Metan Mediaș is a Romanian professional football club based in Mediaș, Sibiu county, founded in 1945, and currently playing in the Romanian first division.

History

1945–1949

The club was founded in 1945 under the name Karres Medias and participated in the Romanian Second Division (Liga 2) . The team achieved promotion to the Romanian First League (Liga 1) in 1947. The name was changed to CSM Medias the same year. The team managed to secure a comfortable 12th position out of 16 teams in its first Liga 1 season. Financial troubles and inadequate training conditions plagued the club’s second Liga 1 season (1948–1949). After the second round, disgruntled players complaint to the press and the Romanian Football Federation (FRF) about the poor training conditions at the club. FRF decided to allow the factory “Zorile Rosii” to take ownership of the club. The name of the team was also changed to Zorile Rosii Medias. Later that season the team merged with Vitrometan Medias. The second half of the season brought another change in ownership but fortunately also the last one in the club’s history. The club was taken over by Ateliere Gaz Metan and the club’s name was changed to Gaz Metan Medias. The team relegated to Liga 2 the same season. The 1948-49 team was formed by Kodacek, Sulyak, Szobo, Serban, Molnar, Rasinaru, Pop, Coman, Guta, Szabo,Pologea.

1950–1963

This period is characterized by frequent name changes but also the most important performance ever achieved by the club: the Romanian Cup Final. The club carried the following names: Partizanul (1950–51), Flacara (1951–56), Energia (1956–58), Gaz Metan (1958–60), and CSM Medias (1960-1963). The final name change took place in 1963 when the club reverted to its former Gaz Metan Medias name. In 1951, the club achieved its most significant domestic performance by reaching the final stage of the Romanian Cup. Led from the bench by the famous Stefan Dobay, Flacara lost 3-1 in overtime against CCA Bucuresti (current Steaua Bucuresti). Goalscorer for Flacara Medias was Coman (min.71). Team : Varady – Luca, Szabo – Dumitrescu, Molnar I, Costea – Pop, Papay, Coman, Szasz, Moldovan

1963–1999

During this period, Gaz Metan becomes a Liga 2 household name. The team relegates to Liga 3 only twice in the 1978–1979 and 1991–1992 seasons but manages to achieve promotion back to the Liga 2 the following season on each occasion. Unfortunately, the team never achieved promotion to Liga 1 during this period.

1999–Today

Led by coach Jean Gavrila, Gaz Metan secures promotion to Liga 1 in the 1999-2000 season. Unfortunately the team relegates back to Liga 2 the following season collecting only 18 points throughout the season winning only 3 games. The squad that achieved promotion – GK:Filip, Rosca – Def: Ciurar, Grigore, Grasu, Lungu, Somfalean, Vasile -Mid: Zotinca, Boroncoi, Callo, Hanc, Ioan, Moldovan, Patru, Stoica – Stk: Vitan, Boloban, Boaru, Galdean, Somfalean. It took another seven years until Gaz Metan secured another promotion to Liga 1.

Led by coach Cristi Pustai, a former Gaz Metan player, the team secured promotion to Liga 1 from second spot after a hard fought season (2007–08). The team finished the 2008–09 season in 15th position out of 18 teams, the last spot leading to relegation. Following the corruption scandal involving FC Arges and the subsequent relegation of the team in Liga 2, Gaz Metan remained in Liga 1.

Gaz Metan finished 7th in the 2010–11 season and secured a UEFA Europa League participation for the following season, its first in history. Gaz Metan reached the UEFA Europa League Play-Off Round by eliminating KUPS Kuopio (Agg. 2–1) of Finland in the second round and FSV Mainz (Agg. 4-3 pen.) of Germany in the third round. Gaz Metan lost in the play-offs to Austria Vienna (Agg. 2–3). Domestically, Gaz Metan reached the Romanian Cup semifinals in the 2011–12 season but was eliminated (Agg. 2–2 away goals) by the future cup winner Dinamo Bucuresti.
