Clubul Sportiv Bihorul Beiuș, commonly known as Bihorul Beiuș, is a Romanian professional football club based in Beiuș, Romania, founded in 1921. Currently the team plays in Liga IV.

History

Clubul Sportiv Bihorul Beiuș was founded on 7 July 1921 as Aurora Beiuș by a group of young people led by the renowned professor Ioan Buşiţia, being the most representative club of the Beiuș Depression and city of Beiuș.[1]

The team evolved for the most part of its existence in Liga IV-Bihor County, with the first appearance in national football in the 1978–79 season of Divizia C, finishing on 5th place in the 9th series.[2] This first season was followed by another 4 seasons in a row for the team in Divizia C: 1979–80, 1980–81, 1981–82 and 1982–83, but with weaker rankings and at the end of 1982–83 the team relegated back to Liga IV.

Beiușenii have returned in Divizia C in 1985 under the name of Gloria Beiuș and have remained at this level until 1990, but with no notable performances. In the middle of 1989–90 season the club was dissolved, but was refounded in 1996 as CF Bihorul Beiuș at the initiative of a group of 14 people, among them was also the mayor of Beiuș from that period, Octavian Codreanu.[3]

The club promoted back to Diviza C in 2004, after 14 years of absence, this time under the name of Bihorul Beiuș. The team has become a constant presence at this level and at the end of 2008–09 Liga III the club equaled its best performance, 5th place, obtained even at its debut in Liga III.[4] Then at the end of 2011–12 Liga III season Bihorul Beiuș finished on 3rd place earning the best performance in the history of the club, but the fate turned its back to the team in the same summer when, due to lack of solid funding, the team chose to withdraw from Liga III and join Liga IV.[5]

After the fall of the mining and steel industry both teams were dissolved and a new team was formed, CSO Ștei, now the main rival of Bihorul Beiuș.
