Corvinul Hunedoara

Clubul Sportiv Corvinul 1921 Hunedoara, commonly known as Corvinul Hunedoara or simply as Corvinul, is a Romanian football club based in the city of Hunedoara, Hunedoara County, that competes in the Liga II. Founded in 1921 as Fero Sport Hunedoara, the club bore various names over time, but stuck with Corvinul, inspired by the Corvin Castle and the local history of the Corvins. Under this name, the team achieved its best performances during the 1980s, when it was a constant appearance in the top flight. Between 1979 and 1982, Corvinul was coached by Mircea Lucescu, which would go on to become one of the most successful Romanian managers. Following the fall of communism, Corvinul relegated to the Divizia B in 1992 and never promoted back. The club faced financial and identity issues in the 20th century, but in 2021 its brand was recovered by the Municipality of Hunedoara.
