Sport - CS Oltchim Rm Valcea ~ Oltenia

CS Oltchim Ramnicu Valcea is a Romanian women's handball club from Râmnicu Vâlcea, that plays in the Romanian National League and in the EHF Women's Champions League. They are considered one of the most valuable teams in Europe.
The club was founded on 27 June 1973 under the name "A.S. Chimistul Râmnicu Vâlcea". It was part of a sports program initiated by the local chemical company (now Oltchim). Its first coach was Constantin Cinca. Under his guidance, the team moves from the 3rd division to 2nd division in 1980. Two seasons later, under its new coach Constantin Popescu, the team advances to the National League.

On 1 October 1989, the club's name is changed to "CSM Oltchim Ramnicu Valcea". The existing name will be later given on 1 May 1997, when the club became a private club.
With its impressive 17 National titles (record), CS Oltchim Ramnicu Valcea is considered to be one of the best Romanian women's handball teams.
On April 18, 2010 Oltchim qualified for the Champions League final for the very first time in history. It was also the first final for a Romanian women's handball club, after the one lost by Ştiinţa Bacău in 1986.
