First European participations Clubs making their first recorded appearance
First participation recorded within each category, calculated separately for Principal and Secondary competitions. A club can appear once in each category, possibly in different decades. Historical club names are shown; renamed clubs remain within their existing profile.
Points: 2 for a win, 1 for a draw. Teams are ordered by points, then goal difference, goals scored and club name. Seasons and competition entries count participation; match figures include recorded awarded results and exclude unplayed or unspecified scores. Club-perspective records are retained for Romanian v Romanian matches.
SI uses Principal Competitions only and is calculated for the period shown, using the site’s Romanian club formula. Secondary-only tables show no SI; combined tables include a Principal-only SI. A dash means the index is unavailable. In-progress campaigns are excluded from SI until complete. Cumulative tables include all earlier decades and this one; arrows compare the previous available decade. Club names reflect the decade shown; if a club did not participate in that decade, the cumulative table shows its most recent recorded name or names.
