CSC Dumbravita was founded in 2008 under the name of CS Dumbravita. In 2018 it was promoted for the first time to the 3rd League, and last year it was promoted to the 2nd League, after eliminating CSM Deva and (huge surprise) CSM Reșița (in a play-off). From 2019 it is called CSC Dumbrăvița.
In the standings of the 2022 autumn season, CSC has performed beyond expectations: in League II they are in 14th place, with 19 points from 16 rounds, and in the Romanian Cup they reached the group stage (the first time in the history of the competition with this format), playing Rapid and CFR Cluj!
The coach of the team is the one who managed to get promoted to the second division, Cosmin Stan. Three players on loan from Politehnica, Moțiu, Amariei and Gologan, also contributed to this promotion. The first two are still at CSC, while Gologan is at Poli. This winter, Zaluschi transferred from Poli to Dumbrăvița.
The management staff includes three former Pol players. They are Radu Suciu (director), Florin Macavei (manager of the football section) and Florin Bătrânu (coordinator of the children and youth centre).
The club has white-green colours, is sponsored by the local town hall (due to the club’s form of organisation, the team does not have the right to promotion to the First League) and is a multi-sport club. The women’s table tennis team has even become the Romanian champion (under the name of ACS Dumbrăvița) in the seniors’ category several times in the past decade and has played in the European cups!!!
2022 was an exceptional year for football in the locality, Dumbrăvița also won the Village Cup, a national competition dedicated to the U13 children’s teams of the communes and villages in Romania!
The history of football in Dubrovnik began around 1949-1950, when the Stăruința team was founded. It was active until the end of the 1990s. Between 1982-1985 there was also Vadrozsa Ujszentes, founded by the Hungarian community in the commune. Both of these groups played in the county level.
The stadium in Dumbrăvița is called Ștefan Dobay. Dobay was born in Dumbrăvița, on 26 September 1909, and was the legendary international player of the 1930s, four times goal scorer of Romania and one of the great players of the romantic inter-war Europe.
The famous former international and coach of Politehnica, Emeric Dembroschi, is based in the commune.
The first documentary evidence of Dumbrăviței dates back to 1891, when it was a Hungarian settlement with the (later) name of Újszentes. Dumbrăvița is a commune situated north of Timișoara, practically close to the county seat of Timișș. In recent years, the population of the village has grown fantastically (it now has 20,014 inhabitants!!!), with many Timisoara people building houses and moving there. Dumbrăvița was designated in 2013, by the Advisory Council for Regionalization, as the most developed locality in Romania!
