Club Sportiv Municipal Flacăra Moreni, (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈflakəra moˈrenʲ]), commonly known as Flacăra Moreni or simply as Flacăra, is a Romanian football club based in Moreni, Dâmbovița County. Flacăra was founded in 1922 by English and Dutch engineers from the local oil rig, under the name of Astra Moreni, then being took over by Securitate by involvement of his boss, Tudor Postelnicu, a big fan of the team. As a privileged team of the communist system, Flacăra reached UEFA Cup in 1989 and played against FC Porto. After the fall of communism in 1989, Flacăra was relegated, being considered that their performances were influenced by other factors than the game of football. Currently "the yellow and blues" are playing in the Liga III.
