History

Colțea București came from the desire to create a club at the time made up only of Romanian football. The headquarters of the club was "Bolta Rece", the current Arcul de Triumf Stadium, next to Arcul de Triumf and next to Herăstrău Park. The club was founded to oppose foreign American, English and German teams and to prove Romanian sporting abilities.[2]

In June 1913, a few students at the "St. Sava" created a football team. Because they were neighbors, gave him the street name: "Colțea".[3]

In 1915 and 1916 the team won the Cup Harwester, Category II, using this team players: M. Stroescu – D.Georgescu – V. Cristescu, Rizescu – N. Secăreanu, Oancea, C. Iordănescu – Iacobescu, P.Pavel, Polieni, B. Grăjdănescu, Fl. Iordăchescu.[4][5]

Colțea played in the 1914–1915, 1915–1916, 1919–1920, 1920–21 seasons in the pre-divisional national championship. In 1920, the club established branches in Brașov and Ploiești. The club subsequently played in the Bucharest Local Championship, except in 1937–1938 when it represented Divizia C. There is no record of the club's activity after World War II.[6][7]
