CS Afumați was founded in 1996^[2] and played in Liga IV until the summer of 2011 when the club obtained a place in Liga III despite the fact that it failed to promote.^[3]

Name	Period
Juventus Afumați	1996–2000
Spicul Afumați	2000–2003
CS Afumați	2003–

In Liga III the team from Afumați has become known as a heavy-handed team finishing always in top 5, 3rd place in the first season, 5th place in the second one, then again on the 3rd place and missed promotion in front of Chindia Târgovişte at the end of 2014–15 Liga III season.^[4]

Team's constancy came to fruition in the 2015–16 season when they managed to promote to Liga II even in the last round after a dramatic match against CS Ştefăneşti.^[5]

In the first season of Liga II the yellow and blues finished on 8th place out of 20 and were eliminated in the round of 16 in the Romanian Cup. The second season was a better one for the team from Ilfov County which finished on the 5th place, but at the end of the championship, due to financial reasons, "the Yellow and Blues" withdrew from Liga II and enrolled in the Liga III.^[6][7]
