History

edit

Crișul Aleșd was established in 1921, under the name of Stăruința Aleșd, but mostly played at the level of regional and county leagues. The first important performance of the "white and blues" was during the 1973–74 Cupa României season, when they achieved Round of 32, where they were eliminated by Universitatea Cluj, top-flight team at that time, score 0–6.[1]

Crișul won its first and last 4th tier title at the end of the 1996–97 season and qualified for the promotion play-offs, where they won 2–0 against AC Recaș, the Timiș County champions. Crișul survived for five consecutive seasons at the level of Divizia C, before it withdrew and enrolled back in the county leagues, due to financial reasons. During these seasons, Crișul achieved the following rankings: 7th (of 20), 7th (of 19), 9th (of 16), 8th (of 16), 10th (of 16).[2]

In this period, Crișul equaled its best performance and achieved again the Round of 32 during the 1998–99 Cupa României season, where it was eliminated again, now with the score of 0–5 by Oțelul Galați, also a top-flight member at that time.[3] Since 2002, Crișul played only in the county leagues with no notable results, but remained a constant presence at this level. On the other hand, "Flăcăii Aleșdului" achieved some important results at youth level, where they won the county league for two times and also achieved the quarter-finals of the national tournament, during the 2022–23 season.[4]
