## History
### 1982–1997: Steaua Mizil

In 1982, when Colonel Victor Stănculescu received an order from the Minister of Defense to establish a satellite team for Steaua Bucharest. Tică Danilescu was chosen by Victor Stănculescu to be the creator and the man who will take care of the second team and the star academy. The conditions were extraordinary at Mizil. Rapid Mizil would merge with ICIM Ploiești, taking over from it players and the place in the third division, the 1982-83 edition, where it was active. At the end of the next edition of the championship, 1983-84, Steua Mizil promoted to Division B, after an extremely close match with Chimia Brazi. In the first edition, 1984-85, he participated under the name A.S. Mizil, which then changed and became the Steaua Mizil. This team had the same logo as the Steaua Bucharest club.
This club-satellite relationship meant that juniors from the teams of Steaua Bucharest arrived at Mizil year after year for the experience they could get from the tough competition of the Divizia B. At the end of the 1996-97 championship edition, the team was relegated to the third league and disbanding.
