The team was created in 2017 by the supporters of the original FC Brașov, which was dissolved that year. "SR" stands for Steagul Roșu ("the Red Flag") or Steagul Renaște ("Steagul Reborn").
Meanwhile, another entity was founded in 2021 and gained permission to use the FC Brașov brand, although it has a continuity issue and enjoys lower fan support.
History
{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}}
Insolvency and bankruptcy of FC Brașov
In the spring of 2015 FC Brașov had financial problems and went into insolvency. In the summer of 2015 all the team's players changed and the target was promotion to Liga I. But by the end of the season they were in 5th place, outside the promotion places.
In the summer of 2016 the team did not have the budget needed to participate in Liga II and financial problems continued to multiply. The situation was saved with a few weeks before the start of the new season when Alexandru Chipciu, a former player of the team, was sold by Fotbal Club FCSB to Anderlecht and FC Brașov received a stake in the transfer.<ref>Steaua salvează încă un club din fotbalul românesc: a virat banii de pe urma unui transfer spectaculos</ref> Cornel Țălnar was named the new manager and the goal was still promotion, considered the only financial recovery solution of the club. The team started well, but finished the season in 7th place.
After the end of the championship, FC Brașov announced that the team will not join the new season of Liga II, and was declared bankrupt.<ref>FC Braşov nu se înscrie în campionat</ref>
