Fotbal Club Politehnica Iași (Romanian pronunciation: [po.liˈteh.nika ˈjaʃʲ]), commonly known as Politehnica Iași or simply Poli Iași, is a Romanian professional football club based in the city of Iași, Iași County, that competes in the Liga II.
Named after the Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iași, the original team was founded in 1945 and played in blue and white at the Stadionul Emil Alexandrescu until its dissolution in 2010.
Later that year, a new entity was formed under the name ACSMU Politehnica Iași, following a merger between Tricolorul Breaza and Navobi Iași. The new club began directly in the Liga II and is regarded as the historical successor of the original team, buying at auction its colours, history, and records.
Between 2011 and 2016, it was known as CSM Studențesc Iași, before reverting to the name Politehnica Iași.
It debuted in the Liga I during the 2012–13 season and equalled its all-time best finish by placing sixth in the 2017–18 season.
Politehnica Iași currently plays in the Liga II, wearing white and blue kits, and hosts matches at the 11,390-capacity Stadionul Emil Alexandrescu, built in 1960.
