After spending two years in thefifth tier, in 2011 the club bought the place of newly promoted Intersport Filipeștii de Târg inLiga IV – Prahova County and was renamed Vispești Blejoi, after the company that sponsored the team.[2]Aurel Panait took over as head coach for the2011–12 season, leading the team through the first eleven rounds before being replaced in October 2011 by former top-flight coachVictor Roșca, who guided the team to finish as runners-up and win the Prahova County phase of theCupa României, with a squad that included B.
