FC Stăuceni

In its first season, 2021–22, it finished second in the Second League. Two seasons later, in 2023–24, it won that division outright and earned promotion to the Superliga.

In 2024–25, its debut season in Divizia Națională, Stăuceni finished seventh and went straight back down. The Moldovan Cup ran a little further that year — the club reached the last sixteen before Dacia Buiucani ended the run, 1–0.

There is no old badge to trace, no predecessor club folded into this one; Stăuceni was assembled rather than inherited, and its honours list so far reads as two lines from the same division rather than a cabinet of silverware. What holds instead is the ground: Complexul Sportiv Olimp Stăuceni, a 2,500-capacity venue in the commune the club is named for, on Grătiești street, just north of the capital it will keep trying to reach again.
