Universitatea Craiova

Founded in 1948, Universitatea Craiova Sports Club was a true ambassador of Romania. The goals scored by Oblemenco, Balaci, Cârțu ori Cămătaru and the great European matches made hundreds of thousands of Romanians go out into the streets to celebrate! People who identified themselves with the club and loved ”Știința”! They made Craiova the capital of Romanian football for many years.

From 1948 until 1992, while the club and implicitly its football department were under the tutelage of the Ministry of National Education, Universitatea Craiova Sports Club achieved great performances: four national titles and five Romanian Cups, plus the first qualification for a Romanian team in the semifinals of a European Cup.

In 1992, the football department of CS Universitatea Craiova split from the parent club. In 2013, after numerous requests submitted to the Ministry of Education, CS Universitatea Craiova received the acceptance for the re-establishment of the football department, that being the essential step for starting the new project.

The rebirth of Craiova's favourite team is based on an association contract concluded between three entities, according to the legislation in force, without constituting a new company with legal personality. The parties, one of private law and two of public law, are: Club Sportiv U Craiova S.A., C.S. Universitatea Craiova and the Craiova Municipality. Club Sportiv U Craiova S.A. will provide, from its own sources and external sources, all the financial support required to carry out sports activities, administration and organization of the main object of activity: football. The trading company, holder of the Certificate of Sport Identity, will enroll the teams of children, juniors and seniors in the championships and competitions of national and international football, starting with the registration of the team of seniors in the Second League of professional football, in the season 2013- 2014. The university sports club, under the tutelage of the Ministry of National Education, joins its brand, title, colors, track record and emblem under which Universitatea has known its great success. The City Hall of Craiova Municipality provides the "Ion Oblemenco" sports complex. The local community was represented at the historic decision making by the elected municipal councilors who voted UNANIMOUSLY for the realization of this project.

CS Universitatea Craiova has as main objective the resurrection of the white-blue spirit! Restoring the dignity and pride of the Oltenian supporters!

Hai "Știința"!
