Clubul Sportiv Blejoi, commonly known as CS Blejoi or simply as Blejoi, is a Romanian professional football club based in Blejoi, Prahova County. The club was founded in 2008 and currently competes in Liga III, the third tier of Romanian football.
CS Blejoi was founded in 2008 and started in Liga C â Prahova County, the sixth tier of the Romanian football league system and the third level within the county structure, and was promoted to the countyâÂÂs second tier at the end of the 2008âÂÂ09 season under coach Constantin IoniÃÂÃÂ.
After spending two years in the fifth tier, in 2011 the club bought the place of newly promoted Intersport FilipeÃÂtii de Târg in Liga IV â Prahova County and was renamed VispeÃÂti Blejoi, after the company that sponsored the team. Aurel Panait took over as head coach for the 2011âÂÂ12 season, leading the team through the first eleven rounds before being replaced in October 2011 by former top-flight coach Victor RoÃÂca, who guided the team to finish as runners-up and win the Prahova County phase of the Cupa României, with a squad that included B. Manea, NÃÂescu, Al. Popa, Ad. IoniÃÂÃÂ, B. Onuà(cpt), NincÃÂ, SecreÃÂeanu, Bridinel, Cr. Vlad, V. RÃÂducanu, Sterie, Al. Simion, R. CatanÃÂ, I. Radu, Fl. Gheorghe, O. Gheorghe, and D. Nae.
In the summer of 2012, after ending the collaboration with businessman Adrian Nistoroiu, the owner of VispeÃÂti Glass, the team reverted to the name CS Blejoi, and former team captain Bogdan Onuàwas appointed head coach. However, he left the club in December, moving to rival CS Câmpina. He was replaced by DragoàMihalache, who managed the team and led them to finish the 2012âÂÂ13 season in 5th place.
Mihalache was replaced by RÃÂzvan Vlad during the following season, when Blejoi finished 10th. The team improved in the subsequent campaigns, finishing as runners-up in three consecutive seasons 2014âÂÂ15, 2015âÂÂ16, and 2016âÂÂ17, the last time behind Petrolul PloieÃÂti. In the 2017âÂÂ18 season, CS Blejoi finally won the Liga IV â Prahova County title but failed to secure promotion to Liga III after losing the play-off against the CÃÂlÃÂraÃÂi County champions, Venus IndependenÃÂa, 1âÂÂ5 away and 1âÂÂ1 at home.
In the 2018âÂÂ19 season, CS Blejoi, coached by RÃÂzvan Vlad, won the county championship again and secured promotion to Liga III after defeating CS Mihai Bravu, the champions of Liga IV â Giurgiu County, 9âÂÂ1 on aggregate (3âÂÂ0 away and 6âÂÂ1 at home). In the decisive second leg, Blejoi lined up with Ad. Gheorghe â Cl. Stoica, BojoagÃÂ, NÃÂstase, Vl. Badea (70 Anton) â Ir. Dumitru (cpt) (55 Ghinea), Rudaru â Ruptureanu, D. Iancu (60 Ursu), ChiÃÂi (48 Cr. Vasile) â Lambru.
BlejoiâÂÂs first season in Liga III was suspended in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the team sitting mid-table in 8th place in Series III. In the 2020âÂÂ21 season, Blejoi finished 3rd in Series V, followed by a 5th-place finish in both the regular season and the play-out round of Series V in 2021âÂÂ22, with RÃÂzvan Vlad replaced after eight years in charge by Marius ViÃÂan.
The 2022âÂÂ23 campaign proved more successful, as Blejoi and ViÃÂan parted ways in October 2022 after five rounds, with RÃÂzvan Vlad returning to the bench. Under his guidance, the team won Series V and qualified for the promotion play-offs, but was knocked out in the first round by Viitorul DÃÂeÃÂti, winning 4âÂÂ3 away but suffering a heavy 2âÂÂ6 defeat at home. The squad that season included, among others, BÃÂlÃÂnicÃÂ, Ad. Gheorghe, A. ÃÂerban, Ad. Nicolae, Ciuroiu, Cl. Stoica, Ghinea, C. Munteanu, PahonÃÂu, Dima, Enache, MÃÂnescu, BrÃÂilÃÂ, D. Ilie, NiÃÂescu, Marinache, Costache, G. BÃÂlaÃÂa, Cl. Dumitru, and DrÃÂgoi.
In 2023âÂÂ24, Blejoi finished 3rd in both the regular season and the play-off round of Series IV, and in the following 2024âÂÂ25 season the club placed 2nd in Series V, once again reaching the promotion play-offs. This time, Blejoi was eliminated by AFC Odorheiu Secuiesc, losing 0âÂÂ3 away and 1âÂÂ4 at home.
