Principal competitions

European Cup, UEFA Cup and Cup Winners’ Cup campaigns formed the principal programme. The season links show how each participating club progressed through its campaigns.

Secondary competitions

The Balkans Cup remained a source of final appearances: ASA Târgu Mureș, Sportul Studențesc and Jiul Petroșani reached finals. Sportul’s winning 1979/80 campaign belongs to this decade, although its edition ended in 1980.

Romanian clubs: decade and cumulative standings

How to read these tables

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.
