## History

[edit]

Înainte Modelu was founded in 2009 in order to continue the football tradition in the commune after the dissolution of former Liga II side Prefab 05 Modelu. Înainte managed to won Liga IV – Călărași County in 2014, at five years after their foundation, subsequently winning the promotion play-off against Petrolul Roata and promoting to Liga III, for the first time in the history of the club.[1][2]

In the third tier, Înainte won the reputation of an uncomfortable team being ranked: 8th (2014–15), 6th (2015–16), 8th (2017–18) and 7th (2018–19), with only a bottom side classification, a 12 place at the end of the 2016–17 season.
