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.

2004–present: FCSB II

The team was founded in 2004 under the name Steaua II București to train younger players. In 2009, it was promoted to Liga II and spent two seasons there, finishing 13th and 14th respectively, before being disbanded. It reappeared in 2016, and was admitted to Liga III to fill the places left unoccupied by the county champions who won the play-off matches and were unable to join the league. The team does not have the right to promotion.

Stadium

Baza Sportivă ARCOM, also known as Baza Sportivă FCSB is a sports complex in Bucharest, Romania. It is currently used only for football matches, is the home ground of FCSB II and FCSB Academy and also used by FCSB for trainings. The football complex was built by George Becali (owner of FCSB) on the place of the former ARCOM Concrete Plant, after his club was kicked out from Steaua Stadium and Ghencea Sports Complex due to the conflict with Ministry of National Defence and CSA Steaua București. The football complex has 4 grounds (3 with a grass pitch and 1 with an artificial turf) and holds 1,000 people.[2]
