Voința Sibiu was founded in 1965 and was subordinated to ATCOM (Territorial Association of Craft Cooperative Organizations). For most of the club's history, Voința Sibiu or Metalul Voința Sibiu evolved in the district, regional or county championship. Voința had an excellent start in the
2010–11 Romanian Cup and qualified for the
Round of 32, where they faced,
Liga I club and fierce rival from the
Sibiu County,
Gaz Metan Mediaş. On September 21, 2010, Voința produced a big surprise and defeated
Gaz Metan, at Sibiu, with a score of 3–1 after the extra time, after the first 90 minutes had ended 1–1, where guests played with the reserves and players from the second team. In the Round of 16 they were defeated only after the penalty shoutout by the renowned
FC Timişoara. Next season,
Gaz Metan took its revenge in the championship. They have defeated Voința in both matches: home, in
Mediaș, with 3–0, then away, in Sibiu, easily, 2–0. Voința finished 1st the first half of the
2010–11 Liga II season, and had a great chance to promote for the first time in history to the
Liga I. Voința finished 4th its first
Liga II season in history, but all was not lost, because FRF decided that a play-off round will be played between
Săgeata Năvodari and
Voința Sibiu for the last vacant place in the
2011–12 Liga I. After 0–0 at
Năvodari and a 2–0 win at
Sibiu, Voința promoted for the very first time in history to the
Liga I. Sibiu is represented at the highest football level after 15 years of absence, Inter last playing there in the
1995–96 Divizia A. In
Liga 1, they achieved their first point in the first round, 1–1 home with
Steaua Bucharest and their first win at
Ploiești, 1–0 with
Astra. Voința relegated after only one season of top football, finishing 16th in the table, with 32 points. After only 11 rounds played in the
2012–13 Liga II Voința withdrew from the championship, because of immense debts. == Honours ==
