CSU Ploieşti was aRomanian professional basketball club, based inPloiești,Romania. The club competed in theLiga Națională, and was the most successful club of the 21st century, winning ten consecutive championships between 2004–2010 and 2012-2014 as well as six Romanian cups. In 2005, the team won theFIBA EuroCup Challenge. The club was known asCSU Asesoft for most of its existence for sponsorship reasons.
Founded in 1998,Asesoft soon established itself as an emerging power with appearances in theLiga Națională finals in 2001 and the semifinals in 2002 and 2003. Asesoft European debut came in the 2003–04EuroChallenge. That season the team made history by beatingDinamo București for its first Romanian League title. Asesoft then became the first and only Romanian team to win a European title, the 2005FIBA EuroCup Challenge, edgingLokomotiv Kuban 74-75 in the title game at home withVladimir Kuzmanović scoring 28 points, including game-winning free throws with 8 seconds left. Its firstEurocup experience came in 2007-08, when they beatSpirou Charleroi and eventual finalistCB Sant Josep, but did not get past the regular season.
Back at home, however, Asesoft has been on a roll the entire decade, conquering seven straightLiga Națională titles from 2004 until 2010. Last season in itsEurocup opener,Asesoft shockedKhimki Moscow 89-97 on the road, but finished the regular season with a 3-7 record. In theLiga Națională, the team won its third consecutive title after making full use of its home-court playoff advantage, winning the deciding Game 5`s of both the semifinal series againstU-Mobitelco Cluj, and in the finals againstCSM Oradea. Back in theEurocup, expectAsesoft to be even more competitive this season, especially in front of its fans.[1]
After the 2014–15 season, Asesoft Ploiești was thrown back to the Romanian Second Division, because the team didn't have the finances to play in the highest league.[2] However, the club did not play in the second league as the team disappeared.
