The team was founded in 1922 as Textila Odorheiu Secuiesc and played for most of its existence in the third tier of the Romanian football league system.

The club was recognized and accepted unanimously by supporters thus becoming the official successor of the old entity, Textila Odorheiu Secuiesc.

[1] For almost 50 years the club struggled in the local and regional championships without remarkable results, but this was about to change in the summer of 1968 when after a very good campaign Lemnarul Odorheiu Secuiesc promoted to Divizia C for the first time in its history.

[2] This beautiful dream would be disturbed after just one season, Textila proving to be an unprepared team for the challenges of this level and finished only 17th of 18.

On 12 December 2006, at the initiative of some local football managers and supporters, a new entity, named AFC Odorheiu Secuiesc, was founded to be the successor of the old club, known over time as Textila, Progresul, Harghita or Budvar.
