Description:

Founded as a railway workers club in 1907. At the time the city of Cluj was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire, resulting in the Hungarian name of the club. After World War I the the city passed over to Romania and the railway workers became part of Romania's national network, the Căile Ferate Române. The club's name changed as a result. Merged with Ferar Cluj in 1946 and took Ferar's place in the first division as a result. The Ecomax company became involved with the club in 2002 and added its brand to the club's official name. This involvement seems to have recently come to an end judging by the club's official website.
