[edit] History

The club was founded on 6 July 1922 and until 1950, the team didn't make much of an impression on the pitch. From 1950 to 1958 the club was known as PROGRESUL. In 1958 the name reverted to GLORIA.

In 1954, the team unsuccessfully participated in a promotion play-off to the Divizia B at Sibiu, this team included the future Romanian internationals: the brothers Anton and Dumitru Munteanu.

Autumn 1956 marked the beginning of a better period for the team. At Bistriţa arrives directly from the Romanian national team Augustin Botescu. Together with him a lot of recognized players are transferred to Gloria. Copil Ilie, Marin, Botescu jr. and others. To atend high-school the following players leave GLORIA and will play at Universitatea Cluj: Horatiu Moldovan, Paul Marcu and Victor Ivanovici.

In 1957 Gloria promotes to the Divizia C, and in the next year they promote in the Divizia B with this standard team: Radu (Stamate), Caizer, Padureanu (the actually club President), Ivanenko, Kovacs, Zsiriak, Schlesinger, Vasilescu, Botescu, Firica, Radulescu, Marin, Copil ("the doctor"), Zeana ("the engineer"). In this period Victor Ciocan makes his debut, and he will be for twenty years the best leader of Gloria.

Beginning with 1961, for a decade the team fails under a regional Championship team. In this period in 1962 at Bistriţa takes place the first international match, between Gloria and METROPOL (a team from Brazil): the result? 2-0 for the Brazilians. In 1970, under Titi Popescu, the team promotes for the second time in the Divizia B. After another year (season 1974-1975) in the Divizia C, for the third time Gloria promotes in the Divizia B, under the managing of Gheorghe Nuţescu.

For 15 years (1975-1990) Gloria remains between the best teams in the secondary League of the Romanian Championship. Best player in this period? First of all Victor Ciocan! Others important players: V. Moga, M. Salomir, G. Butuza, A. Florea, Gh. Hurloi, D. Nicolae, I. Nicolae, M. Damian, I. Berceanu, T. Ivan, A. Nalati, N. Manea, I.Ciocan, E.Voica, Gh. Roman, V.Sasarman, D.Iftodi and others.

In this period from the juniors comes out a lot of good soccers which will make an exceptional carrier: Gavril Balint (will play at Steaua Bucuresti and later at Real Burgos in Spain), Sebastian Moga (Dinamo Bucuresti), Dorel Zegrean (Fortuna Sittard in Holland), Viorel Moldovan (Coventry City in England, FC Nantes in France).

On the 23rd of July 2008 the Romanian team inaugurated their floodlight installation and their up-to-date field.
