FC Metaloglobus București
Fotbal Club Metaloglobus București, commonly known as Metaloglobus București or simply as Metaloglobus, is a Romanian professional football club based in Bucharest, that competes in Liga I, the top tier of Romanian football.
History
Metaloglobus București was founded in 1923 as the football team of the Metaloglobus factory, a powerful factory that was founded in the same year by the Austrian industrialist Manfréd Weiss. The factory was further developed in the communist period and produced all kinds of objects made of steel and iron, from lanterns, bullets, boilers and from 1965 toys. After the 1989 Romanian Revolution, the factory began to undergo financial difficulties and in 1999 was bought by Syrian businessman Imad Kassas.Metaloglobus competed in the amateur leagues of Bucharest throughout its existence, and by 2008 the club had been reduced to youth teams only, with the U19 side winning the Bucharest Municipal Championship that year, laying the foundations for the club’s revival at senior level.
In the 2010–11 season, they won the Liga IV Bucharest and qualified for the promotion play-off, where they were defeated 1–2 by Rapid Clejani, the champions of Giurgiu County. However, after many teams withdrew that summer, Metaloglobus was invited to join Liga III.
In their first season in Liga III, Metaloglobus played at Clinceni Arena’s second ground and ranked 9th in Series IV under Octavian Ștefan and Adrian Matei, who took over in April 2012.
Over the next four consecutive seasons, the team consistently finished in the top half, achieving 3rd place in Series II in the 2012–13 season under Matei and Leonard Strizu from the second half, and 4th place in Series III in 2013–14.
In the 2014–15 season, the team was moved again to Series II, and following a modest run of results, Leonard Strizu was replaced at the end of the first half by Sorin Colceag, who led the team to a 5th-place finish and then to another 3rd-place finish in the 2015–16 season.
In 2016, Bogdan Vintilă was appointed head coach and led the team to 1st place in Series III, securing promotion to Liga II with five rounds to spare in the 2016–17 season, ending 11 points ahead of 2nd-placed Viitorul Domnești.
Their first season in the second tier was a difficult one, and they were unable to avoid the relegation zone as they finished 16th. However, they were spared from going down after the withdrawal of fifth-placed Afumați.
On 1 June 2025, Metaloglobus got promoted to the Superliga for the first time in their history after beating Politehnica Iași in the promotion playoffs.
