1941/42 - 1945/46: Seasons cancelled because of WWII. 1942/43 and 1943/44 were not official. 1947/48: 4 games were left unplayed. 1953: Armata Cimpulung 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.Notes on namechanges and such:

The former played at the highest level only prior to WW2. Vagonul Arad have also played under the name AMEF Arad. NOTE: According to Zoltán-Zsolt Pócs of Hungary Ciocanul merged with Unirea Tricolor Bucuresti in 1948 to form Dinamo Bucuresti, but according to the tables I have used (http://www.rsssf.com/tablesr/roemhist.html#22) Dinamo played as Dinamo during the same season (1947-48) as Unirea Tricolor. Maybe the name shall be Ciocanul instead of Dinamo for the 1947-48-season and that the merger occurred after that season. Mr. Pócs also states that Ciocanul have two seasons at the highest level of Romanian football and as they did not play in the league during the 1932-33-1945-46 period (not in official championships anyway) 1946/47 and 1947/48 are the only seasons possible.Comments on the contents of this page, write to my e-mail address:
