Hușana Huși

First years and the ascension (1968–1981)

Hușana Huși was founded in 1968 and named after the local shoe factory, Hușana. First squad of "the white and blues" was composed exclusively from local players such as Zimțescu brothers, Iacob, Marian, Bujder, Perju, Iolea, Vrabie, Sapcă, Butucea or Dulhac. These were players who played only for hobby, but their dedication and the quality of the played football resulted in a stadium full of supporters at every home match. The first great performance was obtained at the end of the 1972–73 season, when the team was ranked first and promoted to Divizia C, for the first time in its short history. This squad was coached by Dumitru Condurache (in the first part of the season) and Cucu Oancea (in the second part) and included the following players: Pavlov, Tiorok, Virgil Mazilu, Nicu Marian, Dumitru Bujder, Ștefan Hondru Cosug, Ilie Olaru, Ticu Pătrașcu, Costică Zota, Mihai Titi, Florin Zane, Valentin Romilă, Sterică Popa, Străoanu, Gheorghe Sasu, Adrian Mirciu, Viorel Moraru, Gheorghe Morariu and Ioan Iacob.

This squad of Hușana and its style of football captivated the residents of Huși in the 1970s. After promotion, the squad from Vaslui County made a great first impression and despite its limited funding managed to achieve a deserved 8th place, at the end of the 1973–74 Divizia C season. In the following two seasons, the club managed to avoid relegation and was ranked 8th (1974–75) and 9th (1975–76) out of 16. Hușana relegated back in the fourth tier at the end of the 1976–77 season, when it was ranked only 15th out of 16th. After a single season spent in the Vaslui County Championship, Hușana promoted again, being distributed in the second series, alongside teams such as Energia Onești, Letea Bacău, Partizanul Bacău, CSM Borzești, Cimentul Bicaz, Rulmentul Bârlad or Cetatea Târgu Neamț, among others. Hușana spent, this time, only two seasons and a half in the Divizia C, opting to withdraw at the half of the 1980–81 season, due to financial problems.

Steaua Mecanica, the local pride (1981–2000)

In the summer of 1981, Metalul factory bought the football club and changed its name from Hușana to Metalul, receiving surprisingly a place in the Divizia C, but succumbing again after half of the season, due to financial shortcomings. In the next three years Metalul do not managed to promote again and at Huși a new management was proposed. Metalul Huși was renamed as Steaua Mecanic Huși, in 1984 and after only one season it managed to promote in the Divizia C. After promotion, Steaua Mecanica managed to remain at this level for six seasons, period considered as the most fruitful in the history of the football from Huși. In this period, the club registered its best performances, was the second most important team of the county and in the town there were already aspirations for a future debut in the Divizia B. Steaua Mecanica was ranked: 5th (1985–86), 4th (1986–87) and 3rd (1987–88, 1988–89, 1989–90).

The apogee of Steaua Mecanica golden generation was reached during the 1988–89 season, when besides a third consecutive ranking on the 3rd place, hușenii reached the Romanian Cup's round of 32, when they were eliminated by Divizia A side Flacăra Moreni, ranked 4th at that time. Until the round of 32, Steaua Mecanica won over Mecanica Vaslui (2-1), Viitorul Vaslui (4-0), FEPA '74 Bârlad (2-0) Progresul Braila (3-1) and Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț (3-1). In this period, Steaua Mecanica Huși was coached by Haralambie Eftimie, who was assisted by Alexandru Grigorescu and in the squad appeared players such as Iulian Smădu, Adrian State, Gheorghe Lupu, Ioan Iacob, Ioan Tugulan, Ioan Tibulca, Nicu Marian, Ivan, Stanciu, Tătaru, Botu, Bălan, Ungureanu, Răut, Matei, Cosma, Scărlătescu, Ursu and Ciobanu.

After 1990 Romanian Revolution, Steaua Mecanica spent only two more seasons at this level, then relegating at the end of the 1991–92 season, despite a rank in the middle of the table, 9th of 16. In this season was made a re-organization of the Romanian football league system, thus relegating more teams than in a normal season. After relegation, the club was renamed again, this time as Mecanica Huși and promoted back in the third tier at the end of 1995–96 season, but only to relegate a year later after a weak ranking, 18th of 18.

Troubled times (2000–present)

In the early 2000s, the club, financially supported by the Municipality of Huși and local businessmen, pass through a rebranding process and changed its name from Mecanica Huși to FCM Huși. FCM Huși bought the place of Mobila Iași, in the Divizia C, at the beginning of the 2003–04 season, then remained at this level for three seasons, but with no important results. In this period, the entire town was gathered around the team, and the supporters were constantly going to the stadium, as if going to church, it was already a tradition. FCM relegated again in 2006, basically due to financial problems and promoted again only in 2012, but withdrew in the first part of the season and was dissolved.

In the following years, the football legacy was continued by Pajura Huși, a private football club without any official connection with the old one. Pajura won Liga IV – Vaslui County at the end of the 2015–16 season, but missed the promotion, after losing, 2–7 on aggregate, the play-off disputed against Galați County champions, Avântul Valea Mărului. In the summer of 2016, the old club, Hușana Huși was re-founded, but only at youth level.

Next season Pajura was ranked only 4th and during the summer of 2017, the senior team was disbanded by the owner Mădălin Căciulă, who opted to continue the club's activity only at youth level.

In the same summer, Hușana, financially supported by the municipality, enrolled in the Liga IV and started a collaboration with Pajura, club which entered the business with its youth academy. After a 4th place, obtained at the end of the 2017–18 season, "the Team Between the Vineyards" won the league next season, when in the final it disposed of the more successful FC Vaslui and promoted in the Liga III, after 7 years of absence.
