Foresta Fălticeni (also known asForesta Suceava) was aRomanian professionalfootballclub fromFălticeni,Suceava County,Romania, founded in 1954 asAvântul Fălticeni and subsequently dissolved in 2003.
The club was founded in 1954 inFălticeni under the name ofAvântul Fălticeni.
Foresta was the first team representingDivizia C that played in aRomanian Cup final which was lost with 0–6 againstSteaua București at the end of the1966–67 season.[1][2]
In 1997, the club was moved toSuceava after it won the promotion to theDivizia A for the first time in history. The main reason for the move was the inadequate state of Foresta's stadium in Fălticeni, which was both small and had a cracked stand. Another reason for the move was, that the main team in the city,CSM Suceava had failed to achieve any notable performances during the previous decade.
During the 3 seasons it spent in theDivizia A, a notable match was played againstDinamo București in which Dinamo was leading with 4–0 in the 70th minute, only to see Foresta turn the tables on them and win 5–4 in the end. The man of those 20 minutes wasRobert Niţă who scored 2 goals.
Before it was dissolved in 2003 it moved back toFălticeni to play the last matches in its history there.[3][4][5]
