Club Sportiv Municipal Avântul Reghin, commonly known as Avântul Reghin is a Romanian professional football club from Reghin, Mureș County and currently playing in the Liga III, the third tier of the Romanian football league system.

The club was founded in summer 1949 and soon played in the Romanian first league, finishing 13th (last) in the 1955 season. Since then, it has played only in Liga II and Liga III.

Over time, the club has had several names: IPEIL Reghin (1949–1950), Avântul Reghin (1950–1957), Recolta Reghin (1957–1958), Partizanul Reghin (1958–1959), Avântul Reghin (1959–1965), Progresul Reghin (1965–1966), Voința Reghin (1966–1968), and since 1968 it is known as Avântul Reghin.^[1]

History

In Reghin, football was played in an organized way even before the First World War, as noted by Professor Ioan Costea in the book Avântul Reghin - Football and honor. In the interwar period the strongest local team was Victoria, but with the development of the economy of the main factories in the city they established their own teams to motivate their workers. This is how the formations Foresta Română, Partizanul, Nautica, Producția, Recolta, Progresul and Rapid appeared and these will later form the core and foundation of Avântul Reghin.^[2]

In 1946, three of the strongest Reghin football teams (Foresta Română, Nautica and Cărămida) merged out of the desire for performance to form the Foresta Reghin. The results are seen quite quickly, the team reaching the quarter-finals of the Romanian Cup in the 1947–48 season, but in 1949, following the nationalization in Romania and of IPEIL, the factory that sustained the team, Foresta was metamorphoses into a new team led by Wajda Janos. The official date of establishment of the new team is 16 June 1949 under the name of IPEIL Reghin changed few months later to Avântul Reghin.^[2]

In 1952, Avântul managed to promoted to second division and, after an 11th place in the 1953 season, the white and blues won the Series II of the 1954 season of Divizia B and promoted to Divizia A. The squad led by Alexandru Schwartz was composed of: Cojocaru, Szekes - Katona II, Bartha, Tonița, Veszi, Feher, Lukacs, Katona I, Constantinescu, Balint, Nistor, Eles, Mateon, Farago, Munteanu and Asztalos I.^[3]

In 2008, the team finished second in the third league and participated at the play-offs for the promotion to Liga II. It made a good impression^{[citation needed]} but failed to qualify. Same in 2016.
