The club was founded in 1946. The team plays at Dealul Florilor Stadium (capacity 15,500), which hosted big names of European football such as Real Madrid and Steaua Bucharest.
The club has the nickname of Mineru' (The Miner), because of the mining industry which developed in Baia Mare and the rest of Maramureş during the last century. Minerul (or Mineru' by word of mouth) is also an old name of the team, the one which is the most loved by the supporters.
