FC Universitatea Cluj

Fotbal Club Universitatea Cluj (, commonly referred to as U Cluj) is a Romanian professional football club from Cluj-Napoca, founded in 1919 by Iuliu Hațieganu. The team plays in the country's top-flight league, Liga I. Universitatea Cluj traditionally plays in white and black, although variations used red, maroon and gold have been used, especially for away kits. U Cluj played for 89 years on the Ion Moina stadium, and then moved into the new Cluj Arena, built on the site of the old arena.

U Cluj are nicknamed Şepcile roşii (English: Red Caps) after the red berets worn by students from the University of Medicine in Cluj.

Universitatea Cluj are traditionally considered to be the most important football club in Transylvania, although their status has been recently threatened by the successes of their city rivals CFR Cluj.

The club has spent the vast majority of its history in the first league, but they never became national champions. They have also appeared in four Romanian Cup finals, notably each time under a different name, and won the trophy in the 1964-65 season.
