Victoria Cluj was a Romanian football club from Cluj (now Cluj-Napoca ). He was Romanian runner-up three times and, together with Universitatea Cluj and CAO Oradea, was one of the three leading clubs from Transylvania during the 1930s.

history

After the city of Cluj came to Romania through the Treaty of Trianon in 1920 , Victoria Cluj was founded in the Mănăştur district when the two clubs Dacia Cluj and CS Victoria Cluj merged. In its first season, the club reached the finals for the Romanian football championship via the regional qualifying tournament in Cluj . There Victoria made the jump to the final, where the club was subject to Chinezul Timișoara . A year later, Victoria was able to repeat the success - but this year, in contrast to the previous year, even had home rights against Chinezul in the final. After Victoria twice had to leave rivals Universitatea Cluj to participate in the finals, it was able to win the regional qualification again in 1926 , but was eliminated at the national level in the first game. In 1927 the club changed its name to România Cluj . In the following two years România again reached the finals and came to the quarter-finals and 1929 to the final, where the club Venus Bucharest was defeated.

When the Romanian professional league Divizia A was founded in 1932 , România was a founding member and belonged to the league until 1940, when the city of Cluj fell to Hungary through the Second Vienna Arbitration . Except for the 1939/40 season , where the last place was occupied, România placed - from February 1936 again as Victoria Cluj - always in the middle of the table and had nothing to do with the championship or relegation. From 1940 Victoria played in regional Hungarian leagues.

After the Second World War , Victoria played in the 1946/47 season in Divizia B and was then dissolved.
