Sport Club Popești-Leordeni was founded in 2011 under the name of CS Popești-Leordeni, in order to continue the football tradition in town after the dissolution of more known Inter Gaz București and of Viscofil Popești-Leordeni.

In 2016 Gloria Popești-Leordeni was renamed as SC Popești-Leordeni.[2]
