The 2013–14 season is FC Dinamo București's 65th consecutive season in Liga I. In this season, Dinamo plays in Liga I and Cupa României. Dinamo finished the previous season on the 6th place in Liga I and missed a qualification for a European competition for the first time since 1998.

Thus, the club changed its technical staff, Gheorghe Mulțescu replacing Cornel Ţălnar as head-coach, and made several changes in the squad. The goalscorer from the previous season, Marius Alexe, was loaned in Serie A, at Sassuolo Calcio.

Review

Pre-season

Dinamo started its preparations for the new season on 17 June. 33 players were present for the first training session. Some of them were promoted from the second team and others were bought for tests with Dinamo.^[1]. Between 22 and 29 June, Dinamo had a mountain preparation, at Poiana Brașov. The squad was formed by 27 players, eight of them being brought during this summer. The mountain training ended with a test-game, against newly promoted in Liga I Corona Brașov. Dinamo lost the game 1-0.

From 1 July until 13 July, Dinamo moved to England, in the Leeds area, for a training camp during which, the team played a large number of friendly games. Some of its opponents were Oldham Athletic AFC and Heart of Midlothian FC.

Season

July

Dinamo started the season away at the newly promoted ACS Poli Timișoara. Poli won the game 2-0.

The first home game in this season was played on National Arena. On 28 July, Dinamo defeated FC Vaslui 2-0. Dorin Rotariu scored his first goal in Liga I, the day before his 18th birthday.

August

In the third round of the championship, on 5 August, Dinamo met Viitorul Constanţa, and failed again to win against the team owned by Gheorghe Hagi. The game played in Chiajna ended 0-0. In three direct games, Dinamo never beat Viitorul.
