History

edit

The young engineer Fakelman brings in Sebiș the first football ball and equipment. Knowing well the rules of the game, he gathered around youngsters and thus laid the foundation of the first football team in Sebiș. The contemporary documents show that on 15 March 1922 the club was named Sebișana. However, some sources claim that in the summer of 1920 the football team defeated Gloria Arad with the score 4–0, and the match was played in the area of bread factory.

Since 1950 the club has been called Avântul, renamed in 1953 Crișana, this name appearing of being recorded for more than forty years, during which Crișana achieved outstanding performances and brought prestige for this small town.
