History

Minaur Baia Mare Club, founded in 1927. In 1947, the Phoenix Baia Mare team founded in 1932 merged with Minaur Baia Mare founded in 1927, resulting in a single team. Following this merger, the team is called CSM Baia Mare.

The club was dissolved in the summer of 2010 because of financial problems, but was refounded in the summer of 2012 under the name of FCM Baia Mare. Baia Mare was inactive for one season after withdrawing from the upcoming Liga II season due to financial difficulties on 5 August 2016.[2] After one season of inactivity the club was refounded as Minaur Baia Mare, the historical name of the sports club, also used by the handball teams. The club was enrolled in the Liga IVMaramureș County.[3] In contrast to the handball section, the football section is known unofficially as Minerul Baia Mare, one of the past names of the club and the most representative for supporters. Also the football section colours are different from those used for handball, if for handball squads the traditional colours are white, black and orange, for football are yellow and blue.
