History

First years and ascencion (1970–1999)

After four seasons of territorial championships (fifth tier), fifteen seasons of County Championship and two lost promotion matches, in the 1996–97 season (0–4 with Victoria Carei) and 1997–98 season (2–4 with Electromureș Târgu Mureș), Progresul managed to promoted to 3rd division, without promotion play-off match, at end of the 1998–99 season.

First period in Liga III (1999–2002)

In the first season in Divizia C, Progresul finished 12th in the Series VI and reached the first round of Cupa României, where lost in front of first division side FCM Bacău, 0–1 after extra-time.

Renamed as Liber Humana, the ”white and blues” team finished the 2000–01 season in the 5th place. The next season saw the team from Șomcuta Mare finished in 8th place, but the club withdrew after 23 rounds and was relegated at the end of the season.

Struggles to promote (2002–2019)

Reorganized in the Maramureș County Championship, Progresul spent the next two decades struggling for the comeback to 3rd division, always being at the top of the South Series, but without much success.

Promotion to Liga III and relegation back (2019–present)

Progresul Șomcuta Mare promoted to Liga III in the 2019–20 season, beating CSM Sighetu Marmației in the Liga IV Maramureș championship final (1–1 and 6–5 at penalty shoot-out) and Sportul Șimleu Silvaniei, the Liga IV – Sălaj County winner, 2–0 in the only match of Group B of the promotion play-off.[1] [2]

In the 2020–21 Liga III season finished 9th, missing out safety due to goal difference against CSM Satu Mare, who finished 8th, avoiding relegation after the promotion/relegation tie against CSM Sighetu Marmației (3–1 at Șomcuta Mare and 3–1 Sighetu Marmației).[3]

Progresul relegated at end of the 2021–22 season finishing in 9th place in the Series X.[4]
