context_page_description: Asociația Sportivă a Suporterilor FCM 1950 Bacău, commonly known as ASS FCM 1950 Bacău, FCM 1950 Bacău or simply as FCM Bacău, is a Romanian football club based in Bacău, Bacău County. Founded in 1950 as Dinamo Bacău, the club from Moldavia spent 42 seasons in the top-flight of the Romanian football, winning a Romanian League Cup and qualifying for European competitions such as Cup Winners' Cup or Intertoto Cup.
  In the early 2010s, the club entered in a shadowy cone, due to the conflict between the team's owner, Dumitru Sechelariu and the newly elected mayor, who chose to retire the public financing of the team and to sustain SC Bacău. Health problems and subsequently the premature death of Dumitru Sechelariu in the early 2013 multiplied the existing financial problems of the club, then at the start of the 2013–14 Liga III season, "the Mad Bulls" withdrew from championship and were dissolved.
context_section_description: FCM Bacău was established in 1950 as Dinamo Bacău, being under the tutelage of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as other clubs that bore the name "Dinamo". The management of the club from Bacău subsequently decided to separate from the ministry and they renamed it as Sport Club Bacău and added other sports sections such as athletics or tennis.
  The first presence in the first league of Romania was during the 1956 season, when, unfortunately at the end, they relegated to the second division. However followed years full of football in the city situated on the banks of Bistrița River, which reached its peak in the 1968–69 edition when it was ranked 5th and qualified for the Fairs Cities' Cup, the precursor of the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Europa League. At that time, Dinamo Bacău had an exceptional generation in which they had names such as: Emerich Dembrovschi, Nicolae Vătafu, Petre Băluță, Artistică Ghiță or Daniel Ene. The opponent in the first round was Floriana F.C., team which Dinamo beat with the score of 6–0, three goals being scored by the greatest scorer and player in the team's history, Emerich Dembrovschi (Hero of Guadalajara, the player who scored against Brazil and Pelé). After a 1–0 in the second match, Dinamo qualified for the second round, where they met Skeid Fotball, which previously had eliminated the well-known West German side 1860 Munich. Băcăuanii qualified again, now after a 2–0 on aggregate and met in the third round the Scottish club Kilmarnock F.C., club that they eliminated after a 3–1 on aggregate, reaching a splendid performance for the Romanian football, the qualification in the quarter-finals of the competition. In the quarter-finals the team from Bacău met the prestigious club Arsenal F.C., club that will eliminate the Romanian side, after that, winning the competition.
  After the historical presence in the quarterfinals of the Fairs Cities' Cup, băcăuanii would obtain notable results also in the domestic championship where at the end of the 1972–73 season, SC Bacău (name used by the club between 1970 and 1990) would finish in the 4th place, this being the best ranking in the club's history. Sport Club also managed to make a beautiful figure in the Cupa României, where, after the Romanian Revolution, they managed to reach the final, at the end of the 1990–91 season, but in the final, they lost against Universitatea Craiova, score 1–2. Universitatea Craiova was also the winner of Divizia A in that season, which allowed "the yellow and blues" to qualify for the second and last time in a European competition, the UEFA Cup. FC Bacău was drawn to meet Werder Bremen. Werder was the team that would win the Cup Winners' Cup that year, defeating AS Monaco by 2–0. At that time Werder Bremen was a powerful club, with a cosmopolitan squad, with strong players, both physically and as value. Moreover, a first disproportion was given by the height of the players, the average of the two teams saying that the Germans were 21 inches taller. On the other hand, FC Bacău was the team of nobody, with big financial problems.
