Asociația Club Sportiv Flacăra Horezu, commonly known as Flacăra Horezu, or simply as Flacăra, is a Romanian football club originally from Horezu, Vâlcea County. The team currently competes in Liga IV, the fourth tier of the Romanian football.
History
In the 2013–14 season, under the guidance of Vasile Ilinca, Flacăra won the Liga IV – Vâlcea County, after finishing 1st in the North Series and defeated Șirineasa in the semi-finals, 5–3 over two legs, and Posada Perișani 2–1 in the county championship final. Flacăra lost the promotion play-off in front of Filiași, the winner of Liga IV – Dolj County, 2–3 at the Municipal Stadium in Drobeta-Turnu Severin.[1] [2]
In the following season, Ilinca led the Roosters of Hurez to the second consecutive county title, winning again the North Series, the semi-final against AFC Băbeni and beating Șirineasa in the county league final. In the promotion play-off, after the draw in the 1st leg, 0–0 at Cisnădie, Flacăra lost on Treapt in the 2nd leg 1–2 with Măgura Cisnădie, the winner of Liga IV – Sibiu County.[3] [4] [5]
The next two seasons saw the ”Potters” continue to challenge for promotion, the team led by Ilinca finished the 2015–16 season on 2nd place one point behind Șirineasa and on 3rd place in the 2016–17 season.
After five years at Flacăra, Ilinca was replaced by Adrian Popa, that at only 28-years assumed the role of player-coach. Flacăra won the Liga IV – Valcea County and promoted to Liga III trashing Rapid Buzescu, the Liga IV – Teleorman County winners, 9–0 on aggregate. The squad was composed among others by Florin Matache, Dorin Hârșu, Samson Nwabueze, Ciprian Dinu, Mircea Șcheau, Dragoș Gheorghescu, Ionuț Vladu, Ștefan Covalschi, Ovidiu Popescu, Gabriel Precup, Adrian Popa, Raul Nistor, Ionuț Simeanu, Radu Georgescu, Adrian Stănică, David Oprescu and Bobi Verdeș.[6] [7] [8] [9]
