history
Ferar Cluj was founded in 1880 under the name Kolozsvári Athletikai Club (KAC) in Cluj , which at that time belonged to Hungary under the name Kolozsvár . The club could not qualify for the highest league in Hungary, the Nemzeti Bajnokság . When Cluj fell to Romania through the Treaty of Trianon after the end of the First World War , the club changed its name to the Romanian translation Clubul Atletic Cluj .
In Romania, too, the club initially failed to qualify for national games. In the Cluj region, the club could not prevail against the competition from Victoria Cluj and Universitatea Cluj , so that he was denied participation in the final round of the Romanian football championship . Only in 1934 did CA qualify for the newly founded Divizia B , the second highest division of Romanian football.
The Divizia B belonged to CA for two years before he had to compete a league lower due to the introduction of the Divizia C and the associated reduction of the Divizia B. There the club missed promotion in 1938 as third behind Industria Sârmei Câmpia Turzii and Uzinele Electrice Cluj and from then on had to play in the regional leagues again, as Divizia C was stopped again.
The club experienced its most successful period during the Second World War . After the city of Cluj fell back to Hungary after the Second Vienna Arbitration in the autumn of 1940, the club, again trading under the name of KAC, made it to the top floor of Hungarian club football, the Nemzeti Bajnokság, in 1941 . After relegation in 1942 and 1943, the KAC was able to complete the 1943/44 season in third place behind master Nagyváradi AC and runner-up Ferencváros Budapest . The club lost to the latter in the same year in the Hungarian Cup final .
After the war, Cluj came back to Romania and the KAC played as Ferar Cluj in the highest Romanian league, the Divizia A . In the 1946/47 season he was able to occupy sixth place. At the beginning of 1948 Ferar joined local rivals CFR Cluj and thus broke up.
