history

Dunărea Galați was founded in 1932 as a sports club of the Romanian railway company Căile Ferate Române under the name Gloria CFR Galați . In the beginning, the club initially played on a regional level, before he was a founding member of the third highest Romanian league, the Divizia C , in 1936 . After immediate promotion to the Divizia B succeeded in 1939 already, the renewed rise - this time in the highest Romanian league, the Divizia A . Here Gloria always placed in the back third before the game was interrupted after the outbreak of the Second World War.

When the game was resumed after the end of the war, Gloria was only classified in Divizia B , because on the one hand the teams from Transylvania were reclassified that had fallen to Hungary through the Second Vienna Arbitration in 1940, and on the other hand, Gloria in the 1940/41 season only had occupied penultimate place, which would have meant relegation without the following interruption. In the following years Gloria could not build on the level of the 1930s and only fought in Divizia B to stay in the league. After two changes of name - from 1948 the club first appeared as CFR Galați , from 1949 then as Locomotiva Galați - the club rose from Divizia B at the end of the 1951 season. In the following years Locomotiva, which in 1957 again called itself Gloria CFR Galați and from 1958 CSM Galați (German workers' sports club), mostly took part in the game operation at regional level. This was due, on the one hand, to the fact that Divizia C was only held regularly from 1963, and on the other hand, because the club did not succeed in qualifying for the national level.

After the club had renamed itself again in the mid-1960s in Gloria CFR Galați , it returned to Divizia C in 1966. In four years with highly fluctuating performance, the football department of Gloria merged with local rivals Oțelul Galați to form FC in 1970 Galați , which from then on played in Divizia B. As early as 1972 Oțelul got out of the new club and joined the third division Dacia Galați , the club kept the name Oțelul Galați .

FC Galați fought for promotion to Divizia A right from the start, which was also achieved in 1974. In 1976 the name of the association was changed to FCM Galați in order to document its origins as a workers' association in the name. Instead of being able to get stuck in Divizia A, FCM Galați subsequently developed into an elevator team - only in the 1979/80 season it was possible to keep the class. Today, the greatest successes of the club are not among the outstanding placements, but victories against the best Romanian clubs Steaua Bucharest , Dinamo Bucharest and Rapid Bucharest .

In 1982, FCM Galați merged with local rivals CSU Galați , who had already participated in the European Cup in 1976/77 but never played in Divizia A. The new association was named Dunărea CSU Galați . After the merger, the promotion succeeded again and Dunărea played in the 1983/84 season for the last time in Divizia A. After two unsuccessful attempts to achieve promotion , the club fell in 1986 (the year in which local rivals Oțelul made the jump to Divizia A succeeded) in Divizia C.

After adopting the old club name Gloria CFR Galați in 1988, the club was able to rise again to Divizia B in 1990. After the narrowly missed march in 1992, Gloria could no longer build on previous successes and placed in the middle of the table in the following years, before the move to the third division had to be started again in 2000. The club, which has now assumed its current name Dunărea Galați (German Danube Galați ) - in 1994/95 it was briefly called Constant CFR Galați - returned to Divizia B in 2004. On June 26, 2007 Adrian Hârlab replaced the previous coach Liviu Ciobotariu . At the end of the 2007/08 second division season, Dunărea Galați was already known as the bottom of the table as a relegated athlete. Since Ștefan Chițu, the patron of FCM Câmpina , however, decided in August 2008 to dissolve his club and the better-placed clubs CSM Focşani and Inter Gaz Bucharest for financial reasons waived their participation in Liga II , Dunărea remained in league III saved. On October 19, 2009, Viorel Tănase was brought in as coach by third division club Oulelul II Gala , i, who then looked after the team in Liga II. Tănase dissolved his contract on January 6, 2012 to sign a half-year contract with league rival Farul Constanța , and was replaced on January 10, 2012 by the previous assistant coach Eugen Baştină .
