History
The team finished third in the third division in its first and second season, 2005–06 and 2006–07. They were second in the 2007–08 season, which earned them a spot in the playoff for promotion to Liga II. They won the playoff and were promoted to the second division, following a 6–3 win against Aerostar Bacău and a 2–2 against Juventus București.[2]
The first Liga II season in history for the club meant a 13th-place finish and a lot of hardship during the season, avoiding relegation very hard.
In July 2009, it was announced by the Buftea mayor that the team sold its Liga II place to Săgeata Stejaru for 500.000 €. They will play in the 2009–10 season in the Liga III, in Săgeata's place.[3][4]
Buftea promoted back to the Liga II at the end of the 2011–12 season.
On 29 August 2012, ACS Buftea fielded an under-strength side versus ACS Berceni in a Romanian cup match. The team consisted predominantly of under-19 players. At half-time, CS Buftea found themselves 12–0 down, and by full-time, they had suffered a record 31–0 defeat in Romanian football[5]
The club finished 6th in the 2012–13 Liga II.
On 2 August 2013 the club was moved from Buftea to Clinceni and changed its name from ACS Buftea to FC Clinceni.
