Club Sportiv Municipal Flacăra Moreni, (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈflakəra moˈrenʲ]), commonly known as Flacăra Moreni or simply as Flacăra, is a Romanian football club based in Moreni, Dâmbovița County. Flacăra was founded in 1922 by English and Dutch engineers from the local oil rig, under the name of Astra Moreni, then being took over by Securitate by involvement of his boss, Tudor Postelnicu, a big fan of the team. As a privileged team of the communist system, Flacăra reached UEFA Cup in 1989 and played against FC Porto. After the fall of communism in 1989, Flacăra was relegated, being considered that their performances were influenced by other factors than the game of football. Currently "the yellow and blues" are playing in the Liga III.

Flacăra Moreni was founded in 1922 under the name of Astra Moreni. In 1951 its name changed to Flacăra Moreni. After a merger with the local rival Automecanica Moreni in the year 1977 it was called Flacăra Automecanica Moreni but in 1985 changed again to Flacăra Moreni. Flacăra Moreni mostly played in the Divizia B and the Divizia C, but in the year 1986 they were promoted to Divizia A. In the season 1988/89 they finished in fourth place. This meant qualification in the following season for the UEFA Cup, in which Flacăra Moreni in the first round was eliminated against FC Porto 4-1 on aggregate.
