History

The club was founded as CSCA Buiucani on 25 September 1997. In July 2011, the club became FC Dacia Chișinău's reserve team and changed its name to Dacia-2 Buiucani. This cooperation lasted until March 2018, when Dacia Chișinău withdrew from the Moldovan National Division.[3] Dacia Buiucani then started anew in the third tier of Moldovan football. They achieved two consecutive promotions and finished in 5th place in their first season in the top division.[4][5][6] In June 2021, Dacia Buiucani were voluntarily relegated from the Moldovan National Division due to financial reasons.[7][8] Dacia Buiucani returned to the Super Liga in seasons 2022-2023.
