History
CS Victoria Vânju Mare was established in the early 1960s and played and before 1990 won four county championships, finally promoting in the Liga III at the end of the 1985–86 season. After 1990 the club was re-organized as Real Vânju Mare and won again the county league in 2002.
In the same summer, the club was re-organized as Bulding Vânju Mare by the merger between Real Vânju Mare and Constructorul Drobeta-Turnu Severin., as a result of the merger between the newly promoted in the third tier, AS Real Vânju Mare and the 4th tier member, Constructorul Drobeta-Turnu Severin, owned by Mihaela Giuca. The new team obtained the promotion to Divizia B after only one year since its establishment.[1]
In the seven seasons of existence, "the Builders" activated in the third tier (Liga III) during the 2002–03 (2nd place), 2005–06 (1st place), 2007–08 (7th place) and 2008–09 (5th place) seasons, and in the Liga II during the 2003–04 (12th place), 2004–05 (14th place) and 2006–07 (15th place) editions.[1][2][3]
Mihaela Giuca's team played its home matches on the Municipal Stadium in Drobeta-Turnu Severin in the first two seasons of Divizia B. After the first relegation, in 2005, Building returned on the Victoria Stadium in Vânju Mare, with a capacity of 1,000 seats. After another three years, Building moved to Orșova, following a conflict with the Commune of Vânju Mare, which allowed Minerul Mehedinți to play its home matches on the same ground.[1]
Building withdrew from Liga III in the summer of 2009 and subsequently was dissolved.[1] Building was dissolved in 2009, but was again re-founded in 2011, under the old name of Real Vânju Mare. Real Vânju Mare played for a couple of seasons in the 4th division, then was dissolved again in 2014, then in 2018 was re-founded under the historical name of the club, Victoria Vânju Mare.[4]
