FC U Craiova was disaffiliated by the Romanian Football Federation in May 2012, following their temporary banishment since July 2011, and consequently retired from every competition. The Romanian Court confirmed that the 2012 disaffiliation was legal and in September 2014 the team was officially declared bankrupt. The club was reestablished in 2017 and commenced play in the fourth league, and is currently one of the two entities asserting the history of the original club, along with first division side CS Universitatea Craiova.
