History

CS Blejoi was founded in 2008 and started in Liga C – Prahova County, the sixth tier of the Romanian football league system and the third level within the county structure, and was promoted to the county’s second tier at the end of the 2008–09 season under coach Constantin Ioniță.^[1]

After spending two years in the fifth tier, in 2011 the club bought the place of newly promoted Intersport Filipeștii de Târg in Liga IV – Prahova County and was renamed Vispești Blejoi, after the company that sponsored the team.^[2] Aurel Panait took over as head coach for the 2011–12 season, leading the team through the first eleven rounds before being replaced in October 2011 by former top-flight coach Victor Roșca, who guided the team to finish as runners-up and win the Prahova County phase of the Cupa României, with a squad that included B. Manea, Năescu, Al. Popa, Ad. Ioniță, B. Onuț (cpt), Nincă, Secrețeanu, Bridinel, Cr. Vlad, V. Răducanu, Sterie, Al. Simion, R. Catană, I. Radu, Fl. Gheorghe, O. Gheorghe, and D. Nae.^[2][3][4]

In the summer of 2012, after ending the collaboration with businessman Adrian Nistoroiu, the owner of Vispești Glass, the team reverted to the name CS Blejoi, and former team captain Bogdan Onuț was appointed head coach. However, he left the club in December, moving to rival CS Câmpina. He was replaced by Dragoș Mihalache, who managed the team and led them to finish the 2012–13 season in 5th place.^[5][6]

Mihalache was replaced by Răzvan Vlad during the following season, when Blejoi finished 10th. The team improved in the subsequent campaigns, finishing as runners-up in three consecutive seasons 2014–15, 2015–16, and 2016–17, the last time behind Petrolul Ploiești. In the 2017–18 season, CS Blejoi finally won the Liga IV – Prahova County title but failed to secure promotion to Liga III after losing the play-off against the Călărași County champions, Venus Independența, 1–5 away and 1–1 at home.

In the 2018–19 season, CS Blejoi, coached by Răzvan Vlad, won the county championship again and secured promotion to Liga III after defeating CS Mihai Bravu, the champions of Liga IV – Giurgiu County, 9–1 on aggregate (3–0 away and 6–1 at home). In the decisive second leg, Blejoi lined up with Ad. Gheorghe – Cl. Stoica, Bojoagă, Năstase, Vl. Badea (70 Anton) – Ir. Dumitru (cpt) (55 Ghinea), Rudaru – Ruptureanu, D. Iancu (60 Ursu), Chiși (48 Cr. Vasile) – Lambru.^{[7][8][9][10]}
