The club was established in 1964.[1] After a brief period in which their town rivals Dunărea were the prominent club, Oțelul emerged as the main footballing force of the region. The club was first promoted to the Divizia A in 1986[1] and in 1988 made its debut in the UEFA Cup with a 1–0 victory against Italian side Juventus. The club reached the 2004 final of the Romanian Cup but lost against Dinamo Bucureşti.

Oțelul has 23 seasons of Liga I football to date and ranks 16th in the Liga I All-time table. It is also the 2nd best Moldovan team in this ranking, being surpassed only by FCM Bacău.

They clinched their first Liga I title on 15 May 2011 following a 2–1 victory over Politehnica Timișoara, qualifying for the group stage of the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League, their debut in this competition.[2] They played against Manchester United, Benfica and Basel in the group stage, but failed to win a single point. The club won its first Romanian Supercup in 2011 after a 1–0 victory over rivals Steaua Bucureşti.
