The club was originally founded in 1974, under the name of Unirea Jucu, and for most of its existence played at amateur level, until 2013, when "jucanii" promoted to Liga III. The football club of Jucu played at the level of third tier between 2013 and 2017, when it was dissolved and then re-established in the fifth tier, under the name of Speranța Jucu.

In the 2012–13 season, Unirea promoted to Liga III, winning the Liga IV – Cluj County after finishing 1st one point ahead of the second place CFR Cluj II and the promotion play-off against the Liga IV – Satu Mare County champion, Someșul Cărășeu, with 1–0, goal scored by Mănășturean, on neutral ground at the Măgura Stadium in Șimleu Silvaniei.
