History
ACS Mediaș 2022 was founded in the summer of 2022, shortly after the disappearance of Gaz Metan Mediaș, by a group of former players, coaches and officials associated with the old club, including Ionuț Buzean, Eric de Oliveira, Cristian Pustai and Claudiu Boaru. The new organisation was established as a separate legal and sporting entity, with the stated aim of preserving organised football in Mediaș and continuing the city's football tradition.
The club entered Liga IV Sibiu in the 2022–23 season, won the county championship and earned promotion to Liga III after defeating CS Gheorgheni 5–2 on aggregate in the promotion play-off. ACS Mediaș subsequently established itself in the third tier, qualifying for the promotion play-off in both 2023–24 and 2024–25. In 2025–26, the club finished outside the promotion play-off places but comfortably retained its Liga III status after winning its play-out group. As of August 2026, ACS Mediaș continues to compete in Liga III and is the principal senior football club representing Mediaș in the national league system, while remaining legally distinct from the former Gaz Metan club.
