ACS Unirea Bascov


Asociația Club Sportiv Unirea Bascov, commonly known as Unirea Bascov, is a Romanian professional football club based in Bascov, Argeș County and currently playing in the Liga III.

History

The club was founded in 2007 as AS Valea Ursului and competed in Liga VArgeș County, the fifth tier of Romanian football.
After finishing 2nd in the 2010–11 season of the Center 1 Series, 1st place was claimed the following season, earning promotion to Liga IV – Argeș County. The first two seasons in the fourth tier resulted in a 4th-place finish in the 2012–13 season and a 2nd-place finish in the 2013–14 season.
In 2014, the team merged with AS Bascov to form Unirea Bascov. Led by coach Alin Lipa in the 2014–15 season, Unirea Bascov won the county championship but missed out on promotion to Liga III after a 2–4 aggregate defeat to FC Aninoasa, the champion of Dâmbovița County.
A 2nd-place finish followed in the 2015–16 season. Under coach Alin Chița, the county championship was won for the second time in the 2016–17 season. Unfortunately, promotion was missed again after a 1–4 aggregate loss to FC Avrig, the champion of Sibiu County.
Unirea Bascov finally secured promotion to Liga III in the 2017–18 season. Coached by former FC Argeș striker Adrian Dulcea, the club achieved a historic treble by winning the Liga IV – Argeș County title, the promotion play-off to Liga III, and the Romanian Cup county phase.
In Liga III, Unirea Bascov finished 9th in the 2018–19 season and 7th in the 2019–20 season, which was interrupted on 9 March 2020 after 16 rounds due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The club followed up with a 4th-place finish in the 2020–21 season and another 4th place in the 2021–22 season, both in the regular season and the series play-off. In the 2022–23 season, the team finished 6th in the regular season and 5th overall.
In the summer of 2023, Adrian Dulcea left the team after six years to take on the role of coach for Romania's U-18 national team. Marius Stoica was appointed as the new coach but was replaced in November by Cosmin Năstăsie, who guided Unirea Bascov to a 7th-place finish in the regular season and 5th overall in the sixth series of the 2023–24 season.
