Asociația Club Sportiv Energeticianul, commonly known as Energeticianul, is a Romanian football club from Petroșani, Hunedoara County, currently playing in the Liga II.

Established in 1998, the team was known as Șirineasa in the first twenty years and originally based in Șirineasa, Vâlcea County. In the summer of 2017, the club was moved to Petroșani, but kept the old name. It was renamed as ACS Energeticianul in the following year and after a period of uncertainty it was decided that the team would continue in Petroșani.

History

Șirineasa (1998–2018)

Former logo, as Șirineasa.

ACS Energeticianul was founded in 1998 as AS Șirineasa and played for almost all its history at county level, Liga IV and Liga V. At the end of 2015–16 Liga IV season, the team was crowned the champion of Vâlcea County and went to the promotion play-off match where they defeated Dolj County champions, Tractorul Cetate, 5-4 on aggregate and promoted to Liga III for the first time in the history of the club.[1]

The first Liga III season was a very difficult one, financial problems and the weak number of players leading the team to the relegation area until the winter break. In the winter transfer period CS Șirineasa transferred an entire team from the newly disbanded CSM Râmnicu Vâlcea, but the team did not find its rhythm, finishing in the 13th place and relegating to Liga IV after only one season.[2]

Period Name
1998–2008 AS Șirineasa
2008–2018 CS Șirineasa
2018–present ACS Energeticianul

In the summer of 2017 the club has received an invitation from the Romanian Football Federation to continue in Liga III due to lack of teams. The club accepted and was later taken over by the businessman, Nicolae Sarcină.[3] Originally from Gorj County, he was planning to move the team to Târgu Jiu, following to play on the newly built Tudor Vladimirescu Stadium, within this idea the club changed its name from a legal point of view to ACS Energeticianul, shortly before the start of the season, but too late for a change in the Romanian Football Federation records, playing practically in the 2017–18 season with two names CS Șirineasa and ACS Energeticianul, fact that attracted a lot of complaints from the other competitors in the championship.[4] The completion of the stadium construction was delayed and Șirineasa was in the situation of not having where to play, so the team moved to Petroșani, hometown of the new club president, Alin Zgripcea, taking advantage of the disastrous situation of local club Jiul Petroșani and the football void in the city.[5][6] Șirineasa started to play in black and white, Jiul colors, with the promise that at the end of the season the club will merge with Jiul Petroșani, taking its brand and record, the club basically being in the incredible situation of having three identities, two legally and a third one, from an ideological point of view.[7] With important investments, former Romanian international Cristian Dulca as a coach and well-known players such as: Mihai Mincă, Daniel Lung, Florin Costea or Cătălin Țîră, the team dominated Seria IV of the Liga III and promoted with and advance of 9 points over CSMȘ Reșița, the main pursuer, promoting for the first time in its history in the Liga II.[8]

Energeticianul (2018–present)

At the end of the season, Petroșani Municipality refused to pass the Jiul Stadium into the property of Șirineasa and even asking for a rent to use the sports base. Dissatisfied with the fact that they are not helped by the municipality and complaining that in the summer of 2017 they renovated the sports base from their own sources (the stadium being in the dereliction for over 10 years), the club officials of Șirineasa decided to move the team from Petroșani to Târgu Jiu.

On 29 June 2018 it was announced officially that the club will be named as ACS Energeticianul also in the Romanian Football Federation records starting with the 2018–19 season. After one week, the club officials met with representatives of the municipality of Petroșani finally reaching an agreement to use Jiul Stadium in the 2018–19, the club canceling its move.[9][10]
