History

CSM Roman was founded in 1954 as Laminorul Roman by the syndicate of the Întreprinderea de Țevi Roman (Roman Pipe Enterprises, currently Mittal Steel) and played for the twenty years in the regional and county championship.
The club promoted for the first time in Divizia C at the end of the 1973–74 season, when won the county championship and the promotion play-off against the champion of Iași County, Șoimii Iași (2–1 at Roman and 1–1 at Iași), the team was composed of following players: A.Bălan, Niserciu (goalkeepers) – Musceleanu, C.Iamandi, Onu, Procopoaia, Ene, Ciocârlan, Tudosie, Mircea, Maticiuc, N.Iamandi, Dinu, Peisic, Ivanov.[1]
Țevarii played in Divizia C for sixteen consecutive years until the 1989–90 season when was ranked 16th and relegated to Divizia D – Neamț County. In these years, he managed to finish the championship four times in 2nd place.

In the next season he returned quickly to the 3rd tier, but, despite the 6th position at the end of the 1991–92 season, he relegated again because the Divizia C was restructured and only just first four ranked from every series remained in third division.

After five seasons in the fourth tier, Laminorul, managed two successive promotions, from Divizia D – Neamț County to Divizia B.

In the summer of 2009 the club changed its name from FC Laminorul Roman to SCM Petrotub Roman.[2]

In the summer of 2016 the club changed its name from SCM Petrotub Roman to CSM Roman.

On 31 October 2018 it was announced that CSM Roman withdrew from Liga III due to poor results.[3]
