Clubul Sportiv Universitatea Craiova (Template:IPA-ro) is a Romanian top-league professional football club from Craiova.
History
The football history in the city of Craiova began in the year 1921, when the first teams were founded: Craiovan Craiova and Rovine Griviţa Craiova.
In the year 1940, the two teams from Craiova merged, resulting in one of the most successful Romanian football teams in the Interwar period, FC Craiova, which was also the first team from the city to win the Romanian football championship, in the 1942–43 season. However the title was not officialized by the Romanian Football Federation, because of World War II.
Finally in 1948, Club Sportiv Universitatea Craiova took life at the initiative of a group of students and professors, a team which latter would become one of the most popular and successful teams from Romania.
Following the 20 June 2011 decision of Romanian Football Federation to dezaffiliate FC Universitatea Craiova, the city of Craiova lost its first football team. The decision was attacked in court, but Craiova's mayor, Lia Olguța Vasilescu considered, that Mititelu can't re-affiliate FC Universitatea Craiova. As a consequence, in the summer of 2013, local authorities of Craiova, supported by Pavel Badea, being associated with Blue Lions Capital refounded a football department inside the sports club CS Universitatea Craiova. CS Universitatea Craiova claims that this team owns the honours until 1992, and FC Universitatea Craiova asserts that its documents prove that SC FC Universitatea Craiova SA is the successor of the Sporting Association FC Universitatea Craiova, that split from the university club.
On 14 August 2013, CS Universitatea Craiova was provisionally affiliated to Romanian Football Federation (FRF), due the problems with licensing file. After resolving several problems with, it was introduced in Liga II. CSU Craiova debuted in the competition season on 27 August, when defeated with 6-1 Pandurii Târgu Jiu 2, in the fourth round of the Romanian Cup.
I believe that this team is the successor of the one established in 1948, under the auspices of the Senate of the University of Craiova.
