Fotbal Club Voluntari II, commonly known as FC Voluntari II, or simply as Voluntari II, was the reserve squad of Romanian first league side, FC Voluntari. The squad last played in the Liga III, after achieving the promotion at the end of the 2014–15 season.
History
The team was founded in the summer of 2014 from the desire of having a second senior squad where the players who finished the youth academy could be accommodated with the level of seniors, in the idea of being subsequently promoted to the first squad. The team was enrolled in the Liga IV – Ilfov County where it was crowned as champion after just one season, winning the league, then the playoff tournament.{{cite web|url=https://www.frf-ajf.ro/ilfov/echipe/fc-voluntari-sa-1354.html/competitii/competitia-3054|title=Liga IV clasament|trans-title=Liga IV table|publisher=frf-ajf.ro|access-date=25 March 2020}} The team qualified for the Liga III promotion play-off where they won without any problems, 9–1 on aggregate against Arsenal Malu, Giurgiu County champions.{{cite web|url=https://informatiadegiurgiu.ro/arsenal-malu-umilita-de-fc-voluntari-si-de-arbitrul-chivulete-in-mansa-tur-a-barajului-pentru-promovarea-in-liga-a-iii-a/|title=Arsenal Malu, "umilită" de FC Voluntari şi de arbitrul Chivulete în manşa tur a barajului pentru promovarea în Liga a III-a|trans-title=Arsenal Malu, "humiliated" by FC Voluntari and referee Chivulete in the opening round of the play-off for promotion to the third league|publisher=informatiadegiurgiu.ro|access-date=24 March 2020}}
