Asociația Fotbal Club ASA Târgu Mureș , commonly known as ASA Târgu Mureș, Târgu Mureș or simply ASA, is a Romanian professional football club based in Târgu Mureș, Mureș County, that competes in the Liga II.
Financially supported in the past by the Ministry of National Defence, ASA was considered privileged under the communist regime and functioned as an unofficial satellite club of CSA Steaua București. The club rose rapidly and became one of the most notable teams in the country. However, following the Romanian Revolution, "the Army Men" declined and eventually went bankrupt in 2005.
Between 2008 and 2018, the local authorities backed FCM Târgu Mureș, a club later renamed ASA 2013 Târgu Mureș. However, this new entity neither inherited nor acquired the official records of the original club and eventually disbanded achieving decent results, such as a Supercupa României.
In the summer of 2021, ASA was re-established under its original brand. Starting in the summer of 2025, the club marked its return to Romania’s second division after a 23-year absence.The Romanian football federation approved that ASA will replace CS Unirea Ungheni in the 2025–26 Liga II season.
