Being part of one of Romania's biggest sports clubs, famous especially for its football team, Steaua's basketball club enjoyed plenty of success over the years, but also disappointments. Many of the last few years have been spent in the second division, including the previous season. In 2008, BC Steaua merged with BC Targoviste, thus changing its name again, this time to BC Steaua Turabo București, and taking over Târgoviște's place in the Liga Națională. In 2013, the team merged with CSM Bucharest and became Steaua CSM.[1]
