'''FC Tiraspol''' was a [[Moldova]]n [[football (soccer)|football]] club based in [[Tiraspol]], [[Moldova]]. They played in the [[Moldovan National Division|Divizia Naţională]], the top division in Moldovan football.

Founded in 1992 as ''Constructorul Chișinău'', it entered the [[Moldovan National Division]] in the 1995–96 season, winning its only title in the 1996–97 and [[Moldovan Cup]]s in 1996 and 2000. The club then relocated in 2001 to Cioburciu before moving to Tiraspol the year after. Despite the latter two settlements being in the breakaway republic of [[Transnistria]], their clubs play in the Moldovan league system.

==History==

===Constructorul Chișinău===
The side was founded in 1992 as ''Constructorul Chișinău'', and played in [[Chișinău]], the Moldovan capital. It entered the [[Moldovan National Division]] in the 1995–96 season. Constructorul won their first silverware, the 1996 [[Moldovan Cup]] with a 2–1 win over [[CS Tiligul-Tiras Tiraspol|Tiligul Tiraspol]], and the next season won their only [[Moldovan National Division]] title by denying city rivals [[FC Zimbru Chișinău|Zimbru Chișinău]] a sixth consecutive triumph.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesm/mold96.html|title=Moldova 1995/96|website=[[RSSSF]]|access-date=18 April 2018|archive-date=14 September 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220914112602/https://www.rsssf.org/tablesm/mold96.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The league triumph earned Constructorul a place in the [[1997-98 UEFA Champions League]], where they were knocked out by Belarusian club [[FC Slavia Mozyr|MPKC Mozyr]] 4–3 on aggregate in the first qualifying round.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://uk.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=1997/matches/round=747/index.html |title=The official website for European football&nbsp;– UEFA.com |work=[[UEFA]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151223235643/http://uk.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season%3D1997/matches/round%3D747/index.html |archive-date=2015-12-23 }}</ref> In 2000, Constructorul won their second Cup, by beating Zimbru 1–0 in the final on 24 May.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesm/moldcup00.html|title=Moldova Cup 1999/2000|website=[[RSSSF]]|access-date=18 April 2018|archive-date=15 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220815030648/https://www.rsssf.org/tablesm/moldcup00.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

The club also participated in the [[UEFA Cup]] during the Constructorul era. In September 2000, the club was banned from appearing in European competitions for a year following a number of security breaches in a home match against [[Bulgaria]]n side [[PFC CSKA Sofia|CSKA Sofia]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.segabg.com/article.php?issueid=1874&sectionid=10&id=00002 |title=Конструкторул" изгоря за 1 година |access-date=2012-04-01 |date=2000-09-05 |language=bg |publisher=segabg.com |author=Boychev, Boyan |archive-date=2015-11-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151122235031/http://www.segabg.com/article.php?issueid=1874&sectionid=10&id=00002 |url-status=live }}</ref>

The first FC Tiraspol chairman was Valeriu Rotari (1947–2000), a businessman accused of organized crime gang activities. Thanks to Rotari, the club managed to achieve his first National Division titles. The murder of Rotari on February 16, 2000, was one of the reasons the club's further performance was much worse than in the 1990s.<ref>[https://bombardir.ru/articles/454582-Za-stadionom-razdalsya-vzryv-tut-zhe-chelovek-40-vybegayut-s-podnyatymi-stvolami-Vor-v-zakone-sozdal-klub-i-sdelal-ego-chempionom Loud band behind stadium and 40 people running with guns, or how "thief in law" created a club and made him national champion] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220421200112/https://bombardir.ru/articles/454582-Za-stadionom-razdalsya-vzryv-tut-zhe-chelovek-40-vybegayut-s-podnyatymi-stvolami-Vor-v-zakone-sozdal-klub-i-sdelal-ego-chempionom |date=2022-04-21 }} (original in Russian)</ref>

===Move to Transnistria===
Before the 2001–02 season, the club relocated to [[Cioburciu, Transnistria|Cioburciu]], a small village outside [[Tiraspol]], the capital of the breakaway republic of [[Transnistria]], and was renamed ''Constructorul Cioburciu''. The following season, the club moved into Tiraspol and became its current entity. The club has not won a Cup or National Division title since leaving Chișinău.

The only major European campaign since leaving Chișinău was the [[2004-05 UEFA Cup]]. The club defeated [[Armenia]]n team [[FC Shirak|Shirak]] in the first qualifying round (4–1 on aggregate) <ref>{{cite web |url=http://uk.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2004/matches/round=1973/index.html |title=UEFA Europa League |work=[[UEFA]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303233954/http://uk.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season%3D2004/matches/round%3D1973/index.html |archive-date=2016-03-03 }}</ref> before a 5–1 aggregate elimination by [[FC Metalurh Donetsk|Metalurh Donetsk]] of [[Ukraine]] in the next round.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://uk.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2004/matches/round=1974/index.html |title=UEFA Europa League |work=[[UEFA]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304114742/http://uk.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season%3D2004/matches/round%3D1974/index.html |archive-date=2016-03-04 }}</ref>
