2015–16 FC Dinamo București season

The 2015–16 FC Dinamo București season is the 67th consecutive edition of competitive football by FC Dinamo București's in Liga I. Dinamo also competed in Cupa României and Cupa Ligii. Dinamo continued its insolvency status and was unable to buy any players, attracting only free agents and players on loan. In September, the Court announced that Dinamo fulfilled its bankruptcy obligations to exit insolvency.

On 22 November, Dinamo defeated its chief rival, Steaua, 3–1, following a gap from the last win four and a half years earlier.

On 6 May 2016, Patrick Ekeng came on as a second-half substitute in a televised match against Viitorul Constanța. He had been fatigued that day, and had told his best friend that he did not want to play. Seven minutes after his entrance, with his team leading 3–2, he collapsed. He was transported and resuscitated at the hospital, and within two hours the medical staff confirmed that he had died. The cause of death was a suspected heart attack. He was 26 years old. Nine days after his death, his funeral was held in his hometown, attended by past and present Cameroonian internationals and the nation's sports minister; Ekeng's brother said at the ceremony that he was comforted by his having led a selfless life.

After Ekeng's death, all matches in Romania that weekend were postponed, and Dinamo's cup final against CFR Cluj was moved a week later than scheduled. The club pledged that if they won the cup, the trophy would be brought to Cameroon and placed on Ekeng's grave. Before the final, 50,000 Dinamo fans made a display in honour of Ekeng, including a giant fabric image of him.
