FC Argeș amassed over 40 seasons in the Liga I, and traditionally plays its home matches at Nicolae Dobrin Stadium, which is currently under reconstruction.

In the following season, the team was promoted to the top Romanian football league under the command of coaches Ştefan Vasile and Tănase Dima.

Three of the most well-known members of the squad were Ion Barbu, Florin Halagian and Nicolae Dobrin, players who contributed the most to Dinamo's performance.

At the end of the first part of the championship, FC Argeş was in 4th place with 18 points, behind UTA Arad, SC Bacău and Universitatea Cluj.

The winter preparations took place at Băile Herculane, followed by a strong tournament in East Germany, which helped the team a lot in the second part of the championship.

[clarification needed] In the match against Politehnica Iași, he played each half with a different line of midfielders, to everyone's surprise, to force the victory and to have fresh players until the end.

In the penultimate stage on 21 June 1972 at Pitești, FC Argeș defeated Crişul Oradea, becoming champion of Romania for the first time in its history, with one round before the end of the championship.

Then in the second round they faced Real Madrid, a team with 6 Champions' Cups at the time and top players such as Pirri, Ignacio Zoco, Santillana, and Amancio, a legendary coach Miguel Muñoz and president Santiago Bernabéu.

Bernabéu, amazed by Dobrin's techniques, offered 2 million dollars and to pay for the installations of stadium floodlights for him, but Romanian leader Nicolae Ceaușescu refused.

The 1978–79 Divizia A season began with the sign of good preparation and the desire to complete the maturation of the group of young players, most of whom grew up in Pitești.

The team was still under the leadership of Coach Halagian, helped by Leonte lanovschi and Constantin Oţet, who transferred a few days before the start of the championship.

FC Argeș started the championship strong, winning two games against Chimia Râmnicu Vâlcea and Politehnica Iași and ending up in a leading place.

The well-known sports journalist Laurențiu Dumitrescu wrote in the Sportul newspaper, ... it was also in the autumn of [1978 that] Dobrin's team, the team of that highly talented player, who has been wearing the number 10 shirt for more than 15 years, the player capable – even at 31 years old – of deciding any match in our championship (testimonial examples: matches against FC Baia Mare, on their own ground, and against Steaua, away) to score spectacular goals.

[4] After the game, the well-known sports journalist Ioan Chirilă wrote in Sportul, "The championship final, awaited with extraordinary interest, which massively reduced the number of spectators on all the other grounds, ended with the well-deserved victory of the Pitești players after a high-tension game, in which the Dynamo team's thirst for victory received a veto from Dobrin, who offered the stands and viewers the countless matches of his life, he being the player who dominated the field from all points of view.

At the end of the decade and the beginning of the next the team slipped even further, culminating in their relegation from Divizia A in 1992, after 29 years spent in the top league of Romanian football.

Relegated to Liga II and with financial problems FC Argeș was taken over by Dacia, whose director was Constantin Stroe, who paid the team's debts.

[13] As a result of this association, the brand was transferred to SCM Pitești's football section,[14] newly promoted to Liga II, and the team came back to life four years after it was declared bankrupt.

The team narrowly earned 2nd place, after Rapid București held Turris-Oltul Turnu Măgurele to a draw in the seventh minute of extra time, a score at which Turris remained in the second league, and FC Argeș was promoted directly.

In the first half of their comeback season, FC Argeș failed to impress, their winless streak leaving them in last place in the league at the beginning of 2021.

Things began to change after former player Andrei Prepeliță took over as manager, with the team recording an 11-game winning streak and slowly crawling out of the relegation places to join the fight for a play-off spot.

With their unbeaten streak cut short by a 0–5 defeat against reigning champions CFR Cluj, FC Argeș kept their momentum but never made it above 7th place.

Some notable names of Romanian football were developed in the youth academy of FC Argeș, such as Nicolae Dobrin, Adrian Mutu, Ilie Bărbulescu, Marius Bilașco, Constantin Cârstea, Dănuț Coman, Iulian Crivac, Emil Dică, Valentin Năstase, Adrian Neaga, Marin Radu, Bogdan Stancu, Cristian Tănase, Constantin Stancu and Ion Vlădoiu.
