Clubul Sportiv Universitatea Craiova (Romanian pronunciation: [universiˈtate̯a kraˈjova]) is a Romanian professional football club from Craiova, founded in 2013. It was formed after the conflict between Adrian Mititelu, the owner of FC Universitatea Craiova, and Lia Olguța Vasilescu, the mayor of Craiova.
History
In the summer of 2013, local authorities of Craiova, supported by Pavel Badea, being associated with Blue Lions Capital refounded a football department inside the sports club CS Universitatea Craiova. The club appeared after Lia Olguța Vasilescu considered that Mititelu can't re-affiliate FC Universitatea Craiova.

On 14 August 2013, CS Universitatea Craiova was provisionally affiliated to Romanian Football Federation (FRF), due the problems with licensing file.
