The team was founded in 1915, being one of the oldest clubs in Romania. The first field was located on the banks of the Black Sea by the Greek Church. The team played in the first three national leagues of Romania until 1957, when the club dissolved.

42 years after the club was disbanded, in 1999, the club reappears in Constanta as a private club under the leadership on Anton Hiropedi, as a club who wants to develop the young talents.[1]
