FC Drobeta-Turnu Severin
Fotbal Club Drobeta-Turnu Severin was a Romanian professional football club from Drobeta-Turnu Severin, Mehedinți County, founded in 1958 and dissolved in 2011.
The club was founded in 1958 under the name Drubeta Turnu Severin, with Drubeta being a historical spelling variant of Drobeta, inspired by the ancient Roman castrum on whose site the town of Turnu Severin stands.
In its first season, after taking over CFR Turnu Severin’s place in Divizia C, Drubeta made an immediate impact, finishing 2nd in Series VI and earning promotion to the second division after the competition was disbanded and Divizia B was expanded to three series of 14 teams each. In the second division, Drubeta ranked 12th in the 1959–60 season and 14th in the following season, after which it was relegated to the regional championship, as Divizia C was being dissolved once again.
In the 1961–62 season, Drubeta went on to win the Oltenia Regional Championship, qualifying for the promotion play-offs, where it finished 2nd in Series II held at Piatra Neamț, thereby quickly returning to the second division.
After this promotion, the club changed its name to Metalul Turnu Severin. However, after only one season, it was relegated to the re-established Divizia C, having finished last in its series.
In Divizia C, Metalul competed in the West Series. In the 1963–64 season, it finished as runners-up and reached the Round of 16 of the Cupa României, where it was defeated 0–3 by Crișul Oradea, followed by a 4th place in 1964–65, 7th in 1965–66, and 12th in the 1966–67 season.
In the 1967–68 season, Metalul, led by Constantin Lepădatu, finished as runners-up, one point behind Electroputere Craiova, and qualified for the Divizia B promotion/relegation play-offs, where it was ranked 3rd in Group II, held in Arad, thus returning to the second division. The squad included Mîniosu, Corcovan, Chițulescu, Budănescu, Constantin, Cîntar, Cîrtog, Șandru, Diaconu, Hîrșova, Prodan, Căprioru, Jimboreanu, Chirițescu, Pelea, Gall, Sava, Floca, and Zaharia.
In Divizia B, Metalul competed in Series II, finished 9th in the 1968–69 season, and was relegated in the following campaign after being ranked last, a season during which it also reached the Round of 16 of the Cupa României, eliminating first-division side CFR Cluj with a 5–2 victory, before losing 1–3 to another top-flight team, Argeș Pitești.
