In 1946Vâlceana appeared in theThird Division. In 1947 it changed its name toCSM Vâlcea. The club is relegated and only in 1956 does it succeed in returning again under the name ofFlamura Roşie, the name being changed the next year toUnirea and in 1958 toŞantierul Govora. It is relegated again, but after one year, the team jumped directly to theSecond Division under the name ofChimia Govora.
In 1962 the club changed its name again, this time toUnirea Râmnicu Vâlcea, in 1966 toOltul and in 1967 toChimia Râmnicu Vâlcea. Since 1960 the squad has participated at 10 editions of Liga II, finishing in the top half. One season in Liga III followed, but the team managed to be promoted to the Liga II again.
Its greatest performance came at the end of the 1972–1973 season, when the team won theRomanian Cup as aDivizia B team after a double match in "The final of the poor" againstDivizia C teamConstructorul Galați, (1–1, 3–0).[2][3] The team was coached by Dumitru Anescu: Stana – Burlacu, T. Ciobanu, Pintilie, Petrică –I. Haidu, I. Ionescu – Şutru (Orovitz),Donose, Gojgaru (H. Popescu), V. Iordache (Tifirel).
The following season, the club (N. Dinescu Chairman, coaches: Gh. Nuţescu – D. Anescu) was promoted to theFirst Division. Players (that recently appeared):I. Crăciunescu (the famous referee), Lepădatu, Enache, Borz, Cincă, C. Nicolae, Păunescu,Emil Dumitriu,Peniu. In the autumn of1973 the team played in the first round of theCup Winners Cup againstGlentoran Belfast, but was eliminated. After two seasons of top football the club is relegated to theSecond Division, but manages to come back after three years. CoachMarcel Pigulea was 'to blame' for this performance. The club succeeds in playing for nine consecutive years on the first level of Romanian football, and a great merit goes to Teodor Coman, a great football fanatic, one of the few good people in command of the formerPCR. Valuable players that played during this period: Gh. Constantin, V. Roşca, N. Pavel – Başno, Iordan, Cincă, Lepădatu, Catargiu,Cheran, Fl. Udrea,Cireașă – Carabageac, Savu,Gab. Stan, Mih. Alexandru, Vergu, C. Iovan – Ad. Coca, Gîngiu, Stanca, Teleşpan, M. Preda, Buduru, Verigeanu.
In 1987, the club is relegated to theSecond Division, and after 10 years, in 1996 to theThird Division. In 1994, it changes its name toFC Râmnicu Vâlcea. In 1998 a new relegation comes, this time to the County Championship (Fourth League).
In 2004 the club is dissolved after serious financial problems.
