Romania1

The table has been assembled using material contributed by the RSSSF website. Additional clarifications, especially regarding namechanges, mergers and such have been contributed by the foot.dk website and Zoltán-Zsolt Pócs of Hungary. A huge thank you goes to the contributors without whom I could not possibly have constructed the table. You are free to copy this document in a non-commercial capacity but please state the source, i.e. Clas Glenning. The table was completely overhauled and corrected in May 2020.

Notes

1936/37: One game, unclear which, was set to loss for both teams but with no goals conceeded.  1940/41; One game, unclear which, was set to 0-3 loss for each team.  1941/42 - 1945/46: Seasons cancelled because of WWII. 1942/43 and 1943/44 were not official.  1953: CA Câmpulung Moldovenesc withdrew after the first round of matches. The matches they played were counted in the official table so they are counted in my tables as well.  1962/63: Viitorul Bucuresti (the Romanian U-18 team) withdrew after the first round of matches. However, as the matches they played are counted in the official table I am  counting them as well.  1989/90: FC Olt Slatina (Scornicesti) and Victoria Bucuresti were excluded during the winter break. They had all their remaining matches set to 0-3. This happened  because of political reasons. Scornicesti was the birthtown of Nicolae Ceausescu, the romanian communist dictator 1965-89 and Victoria Bucuresti was the team of the infamous security service, Securitatae.   1990/91: Corvinul Hunedoara had two points deducted and FC Bihor Oradea had four points deducted.  2001/02: Rapid Bucuresti had one point deducted for walking off the pitch in round 13.   2012/13: Otelul Galati had two points deducted.  2015/16: Petrolul Ploiesti had six points deducted and CFR Cluj had 10 points deducted.  2019/20: Astra Giurgiu had three points deducted.  2019/20: The season was cut short bwcause of the Covid-19 pandemic. The standings at the time was considered official. 2022/23: Hermannstadt had nine points deducted.
