- Universitatea Craiova (Romanian pronunciation: [universiˈtate̯a kraˈjova]) was a professional football club based in Craiova, Dolj County, Romania. Between 1948 and 1991, Universitatea won four national titles and five national cups. In addition to their domestic success, their reputation as a major club in the country was established by being the first Romanian team to reach the semi-finals of a UEFA tournament and remain the only one to have knocked out at least one club from each of five strongest countries in European football—England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. It acted as a football section for the CSU Craiova sports club of which it was part of until 1991, when its berth in the league championship was taken by FC U Craiova following a privatisation scheme. Generally considered the same entity with the old club, FC U continued its tradition for the next two decades, but was reorganised several times and retroactively deemed an unofficial successor. Most notably, under the ownership of , FC Universitatea was disaffiliated by the Romanian Football Federation in 2012, following their temporary banishment since July 2011, and consequently retired from every competition. In 2013, the sports club refounded its football department, which asserts the history and trophies of the original Universitatea Craiova. CS Universitatea Craiova has in truth been backed up by some court orders and the Liga Profesionistă de Fotbal, but the record remains subject of legal dispute with the also reestablished FC U team and uncertainty persists.
