Club Sportiv Victoria Ineu, commonly known as Victoria Ineu, is a Romanian football club from Ineu, Arad County and currently playing in Liga VI â Arad County, the sixth tier of the Romanian football.
Founded in 1920, Victoria Ineu has had several names over time such as Progresul, Spartac, CriÃÂul, CS Ineu, Tricotaje and ACB. The club reached the Divizia B as Tricotaje Ineu, playing in the Romanian second division in 2003âÂÂ04 and 2004âÂÂ05, finishing in 9th position in both campaigns.
Victoria Ineu was founded in April 1920 at the initiative of a group of intellectuals from Ineu at that time, by creating football, athletics and gymnastics teams. The team played in the district, regional and county championships between 1946 and 1978.
Victoria managed to win the county championship at the end of the 1977âÂÂ78 season and the promotion play-off against CFR CaransebeÃÂ, the winner of the CaraÃÂ-Severin County Championship, with 2âÂÂ2 on aggregate (1âÂÂ2 away and 1âÂÂ0 at home) and were promoted on the away goals rule.
In the first three years in Divizia C, Ineuanii struggled to avoid relegation, finishing 12th in the 1978âÂÂ79 season and 13th in both the 1979âÂÂ80 and 1980âÂÂ81 seasons. The following season, 1981âÂÂ82, ended with a mid-table finish in 8th place.
Preceded by two more years in the mid-table, finishing 11th in the 1982âÂÂ83 season and 10th in the 1983âÂÂ84 season, relegation to the fourth division came after the 1984âÂÂ85 season, when finishing in 15th place.
In 1985, Victoria Ineu also reached the Round of 32 of the Cupa României, losing 0âÂÂ3 to FC Olt ScorniceÃÂti. The lineup in that match was: ÃÂica I (Csillag) â Costin, Szabo, Maghià(Weckerle), Reisz â Sas, Popa, LeucuÃÂa â ÃÂica II, Nicodin and Rusan, with Ioan Palcu as head coach.
In 1986, in an attempt to make a comeback to the third division, Victoria merged with two other teams from the town, Metalul and Gloria, forming CS Ineu. The club won the Arad County Championship in the 1988âÂÂ89 season but lost the promotion play-off against Minerul ÃÂtei, the Bihor County Championship winner, with a 0âÂÂ1 loss at ÃÂtei and a 0âÂÂ0 draw at Ineu.
The 2000âÂÂ01 season marks the long-awaited return of Ineu to Liga III. With Alexandru Gaica on the bench, Tricotaje Ineu (named after the knitwear factory in town) won the Divizia D â Arad County and defeated CS Vulcan, the Divizia D â Hunedoara County winner, 2âÂÂ1 in the promotion play-off held at TimiÃÂoara.
In 2005, Tricotaje Ineu sold its place in Divizia B to FCM ReÃÂiÃÂa and bought the place in the third tier of Universitatea ReÃÂiÃÂa and renamed as CS Ineu.
In the summer of 2020, CS Ineu started a collaboration with Brosovszky Football Academy and was renamed as ACB Ineu.
