Financially sustained by the Ministry of National Defence, ASA was considered privileged by the communist regime and an unofficial satellite club of Steaua București. Its ascent was fast, ASA becoming one of the most notable teams in the country. After the Romanian Revolution, "the Army Men" declined and in 2005 went bankrupt.

Between 2008 and 2018, the local authorities supported FCM Târgu Mureș, which was later renamed ASA 2013 Târgu Mureș, but the new entity did not hold the record of the original club. In the summer of 2021, ASA was reestablished bearing the original brand.
