CSM Roman (football)

Club Sportiv Municipal Roman, commonly known as CSM Roman, is a Romanian football team based in Roman, Neamț County, currently competing in Liga IV – Neamț County, the fourth tier of Romanian football.

The team represents the men's football section of the multi-sport club CSM Roman, which also includes a women's handball team. Founded in 1954 as Laminorul Roman, the team was dissolved in 2018 due to poor results. However, the football section was re-founded in 2021 and enrolled in Liga IV – Neamț County, the fourth tier of the Romanian football league system.

CSM Roman was founded in 1954 as Laminorul Roman by the syndicate of Întreprinderea de Țevi Roman (lit.'Roman Pipe Enterprises, currently Mittal Steel') and played for twenty years in the regional and county championships.

The team earned its first promotion to Divizia C at the end of the 1973–74 season, winning the Neamț County Championship and the promotion play-off against the Iași County Championship winner, Șoimii Iași (2–1 at Roman and 1–1 at Iași). The team consisted of the following players: A. Bălan, Niserciu (goalkeepers) – Musceleanu, C. Iamandi, Onu, Procopoaia, Ene, Ciocârlan, Tudosie, Mircea, Maticiuc, N. Iamandi, Dinu, Peisic, and Ivanov.

Țevarii played in Divizia C for sixteen consecutive years until the 1989–90 season, finishing 16th and suffering relegation to Divizia D – Neamț County. During this period, the club managed to finish as runner-up on four occasions.

The following season brought a quick return to the third tier. However, despite securing 6th place at the end of the 1991–92 season, relegation followed due to the restructuring of Divizia C, which allowed only the top four teams from each series to remain in the third division.

Laminorul won the next two seasons of the Neamț County Championship, each time missing out on promotion—first in 1992–93 against Rapid Miercurea Ciuc (0–4 away and 0–1 at Roman), and then in 1993–94 after matches against Mobila Iași (4–1 at home and 1–3 at Iași), finishing below the sixteen teams with the best aggregate results. For the pipefitters, two consecutive seasons followed, each ending in 2nd place behind Cimentul Bicaz.

After five seasons in the fourth tier, Laminorul secured the 1996–97 Divizia D – Neamț County title and earned promotion by defeating Metalul Botoșani, the winner of Divizia D – Botoșani County, 8–2 at Emil Alexandrescu Stadium in Iași. The squad, coached by Nicolae Zaharia, featured: Simionaș (46' Ionuț Nacu) - Costin, Claudiu Martin (40' Marius Tofan), Viorel Mocanu, Cristian Vizitiu - Corneliu Codreanu, Lucian Zaharia (82' Colobanea), Lucian Cozma, Gabriel Țapu - Bogdan Vizitiu, Ciprian Țigănuș.
