History

Founded on 16 June 2014 by a wing of the former club, FC Progresul București, Progresul Spartac București is a club that does not claim the record, logo or the succession of the old entity, despite the fact that it uses some elements of the original brand, called itself "direct descendant of Progresul București" and its objective is "to revive the spirit of Progresul from Cotroceni".
In the 2016–17 season, at two years after foundation, the team won Liga IV – Bucharest series and qualified for the promotion play-off where it played against Voința Crevedia, Ilfov County champions. After the first leg, played in Bucharest, the Romanian Football Federation declared forfeit in favor of Voința Crevedia, because Progresul Spartac did not have a doctor at the match. One week later, in the second leg, played this time in Crevedia, Progresul Spartac overturned the situation, winning with 6–2 and gained promotion in the Liga III.
In the first season of Liga III, Progresiștii were the revelation of the second series where after a tough duel against Farul Constanța and even a 7–0 win against them, Progresul had to see itself defeated in the end and finished the season only on the 2nd place. Next season the bleu and blues were again a hard-to-beat team, winning against the big favourite of the series Rapid București and bringing to the stadium located in the "Sparrow's entry" a second division club, Universitatea Cluj, with the occasion of a round of 32 Romanian Cup match.
