Lotus Băile Felix

Club Sportiv Lotus Băile Felix, commonly known as Lotus Băile Felix, or simply as Lotus, is a Romanian football club based in Băile Felix, Sânmartin, Bihor County, currently playing in the Liga III. Lotus Băile Felix originally founded in the 1970s (Metalul Baile Felix) and was disbanded in the 2000s, after some merger processes with Luceafărul Oradea and Știința Bacău. The club was re-founded on 16 June 2009 under the name of CSC Sânmartin and played for most of its existence at the amateur level, in the Liga IV. Promoted in 2014 in the third tier, the club resisted only one season before withdrawing due to financial difficulties. In 2019, with the financial support of the Commune of Sânmartin, the biggest and one of the richest communes in Bihor County, fact owed to the presence of thermal waters in the area, CSC managed to won Liga IV, Bihor County series and also the promotion play-off, promoting back to Liga III. In the summer of 2021, the club went through a process of re-branding, changing its name from CSC Sânmartin to CS Lotus Băile Felix, bringing in the front the name of Băile Felix, a Romanian well known thermal spa resort that is under Sânmartin Commune administration.
