"The Students" play their home matches at the [[Stadionul Ion Oblemenco]], which has a capacity of 30,929. ==History== ===Before Universitatea and founding=== The football history in the city of [[Craiova]] began in the year 1921, when the first teams were founded: Craiovan Craiova and Rovine Grivița Craiova. In the 1940, the two teams merged, resulting in one of the most successful Romanian clubs of the Interwar period, [[FC Craiova]], which was also the first team from the city to win the [[Liga I|Romanian football championship]], in the 1942–43 season. However, the title was not officialized by the [[Romanian Football Federation]], because of [[World War II]]. Finally, in 1948, Universitatea Craiova took life at the initiative of a group of students and professors,<ref name="History"/> a team which would later become one of the most popular and successful teams of Romania. ==="''Craiova Maxima''" era: domestic honours and UEFA Cup semi-final in the '80s=== During the 1982–83 season, Universitatea recorded the most notable continental performance in its history. Under the management of Constantin Oțet and Nicolae Ivan the team reached the semi-finals of the [[1982–83 UEFA Cup|UEFA Cup]], after defeating some of the best known clubs in European football, such as [[AC Fiorentina]] ([[Serie A]] runners-up), [[Girondins Bordeaux]] and [[FC Kaiserslautern]]. In the first European cup semi-final ever played by a Romanian club, Universitatea encountered [[S.L. Benfica]], two times European champions and three times [[European Cup]] finalists at the time. After two draws, the Portuguese side advanced to the final on aggregate away goals. This generation of players earned the nickname of "''Craiova Maxima''" and included [[Ilie Balaci]], [[Rodion Cămătaru]], [[Costică Ștefănescu]], [[Zoltan Crișan]], [[Ion Geolgău]], Aurică Beldeanu, Costică Donose and [[Silviu Lung]] among others. ===Universitatea Craiova after the '90s=== {{main|FC Universitatea Craiova}} In 1991, Universitatea Craiova conquered its last national title and [[Cupa României|Romanian Cup]], under the management of [[Sorin Cârțu]].

The stadium was opened on 29 October 1967 with national teams of Romania and Poland scoring 2 goals each and was originally named Central Stadium. It hosted many memorable matches during the Craiova Maxima era such as the 1981–82 European Cup Quarterfinal against Bayern Munich and the 1982–83 UEFA Cup Semifinal against Benfica. Following the death of Universitatea Craiova legend Ion Oblemenco in 1996, the stadium was renamed in his honour. In 2008, the stadium underwent a major renovation. The stadium was entirely demolished in 2015 and was replaced with an all-seater stadium. ===Stadionul Extensiv=== Extensiv Stadium is a multi-use stadium in Craiova, Romania opened in 1949. It is used mostly for football matches and since 2015 it is the home ground of Universitatea Craiova. The stadium holds 7,000 people. The stadium was the home ground of Extensiv Craiova. In 2005 when Extensiv Craiova dissolved, the stadium was abandoned: plants and flowers grew on the pitch and the chairs were broken, but it was saved by Craiova's old boys' team. The stadium was used by Universitatea Craiova between 2015 and 2017, following the demolition of old Ion Oblemenco Stadium. From 2016 the stadium is the home of Universitatea Craiova's second team. ===Stadionul Ion Oblemenco=== The new [[Stadionul Ion Oblemenco|Ion Oblemenco Stadium]], with a capacity of 30,929 seats, was inaugurated on 10 November 2017 with a [[Exhibition game#Association football|friendly match]] between Universitatea Craiova and Czech club [[SK Slavia Prague|Slavia Prague]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prosport.ro/fotbal-intern/liga-1/inaugurare-sf-pentru-ozn-ul-craiovei-16815706|title=Inaugurare SF pentru OZN-ul Craiovei|trans-title=Incredible opening for Craiova's UFO|publisher=[[ProSport]]|language=Romanian|date=10 November 2017|accessdate=11 November 2017}}</ref> ==Rivalries== Universitatea Craiova's main rivals are [[FC Dinamo București|Dinamo București]] and Rapid Bucuresti.
