Voința Stadium, IMGB, ICSIM or Automatica, the club was weakened and relegated to the third tier. At the beginning of the pilgrimage loyalty remained constant, the same Progresul brought 5–6,000 spectators in the Divizia C. Over time, the number of supporters decreased, the years of exile leaving deep traces. Valentin Caltuț: "Think about having to play nine years away (between 1986 and 1995 when the Cotroceni Stadium was rebuilt). How do you make a kid stay with this team?". After 1995 the supporters were not so many, some of them were nostalgic, but in 2003 a new active group came at the initiative of the young generation, the group was named "F.A.N.S". Progresul supporters consider FC Argeș Pitești supporters to be their allies, fans of both teams had the opportunity to support the other during matches. Rivalries Progresul has been a sympathized team over time, with only a few supporters, but very civilized, the club left in general a good impression, not generating notable antipathies. Main rivals of Progresul were from Bucharest, before 1989, teams backed by the communist regime, such as Steaua, Dinamo and Victoria. After that, rivalries against Steaua and Dinamo remained, but were of low intensity as the one against Sportul Studențesc, a sporty derby between the smallest teams from capital which had constant presences in the Liga I.
