'''Fotbal Club Olimpia MCMXXI Satu Mare''', commonly known as '''Olimpia Satu Mare''', '''Olimpia MCMXXI''' or simply as '''Olimpia''', is a [[Romania]]n professional [[football (soccer)|football]] [[football team|club]] from [[Satu Mare]], [[Satu Mare County]], [[Romania]], founded on 5 May 1921, re-founded in 2010 and 2018. The club played in the [[Liga I]] in the following seasons: 1937–38, 1974–75, 1975–76, 1977–78, 1978–79, 1979–80 and 1998–99.

== History ==
The club was founded in 1921. In 1934, the club reached the quarter finals of the first ever [[Romanian Cup]]. Olimpia was placed in [[Liga I|Liga 1]] after the Romanian league system was re-structured in 1936, but the team relegated before long. After [[World War II]], the club faced various financial challenges and did not make an appearance in [[Liga I|Divizia A]] until 1974. Olimpia reached the final of the [[Romanian Cup]] in 1978 and lost to a strong [[CS Universitatea Craiova|Universitatea Craiova]] team 3–1. After two years, the team returns to [[Liga II|Divizia B]], where he was among the leaders of the series, until 1993 when it was relegated to [[Liga III|Divizia C]] after a scandal.

Two years later, Olimpia returns to [[Liga II|Divizia B]] and in 1998 it promoted to [[Liga I|Divizia A]], but it immediately relegated. The team was then a regular [[Liga II|Divizia B]] presence, with no notable performances, the maximum reached was a 4th place at the end of the [[2004–05 Divizia B|2004–05]] season. In 2006, the team relegated to [[Liga III]] where it had disastrous results, saving from relegation in the last moment for the next two seasons, then the club was relegated to [[Liga IV]] due to financial problems and reached the brink of collapse even suffering a major reorganization in 2010.

In 2011 the team won [[Liga IV]]-[[Satu Mare County|Satu Mare]] and then the play-off match against Meseșul Treznea [[Sălaj County]] champions, with an imposing score, 6–0. The match was played in [[Oradea]] on [[Stadionul Iuliu Bodola|Iuliu Bodola Stadium]] and ''Oli'' was encouraged by its groups of supporters ''Commando Oli'' and ''Sezione Ostile'' and by [[FC Bihor Oradea (1958)|Bihor Oradea]] supporters, ''Peluza Nord Oradea''.<ref>[http://www.satumareonline.ro/cp/24/6484/Olimpia-a-promovat-in-Liga-a-III-a!!! Olimpia a promovat în Liga a III-a!!!]</ref>
At the end of [[2011–12 Liga III]] season, Olimpia finished only second, at 3 points distance from [[ASC Corona 2010 Brașov (football)|Corona Brașov]], but promoted the next season with an advance of 5 points over [[CS Hunedoara|FC Hunedoara]]. Then Olimpia becoming again a regular [[Liga II]] team, the best performance being 5th place, obtained at the end of [[2014–15 Liga II|2014–15]] season.

In the winter break of the [[2017–18 Liga II|2017–18]] season, Olimpia withdrew from [[Liga II]] due to financial problems, also having 70 points deducted. In the same time, the local authorities founded [[CSM Satu Mare (football)|CSM Satu Mare]], a new entity that pretend to be the successor of FC Olimpia, but has no legal connections with the old club.<ref>[http://liga2.prosport.ro/seria-1/campionat/s-a-terminat-olimpia-satu-mare-a-anuntat-frf-ca-se-retrage-din-campionatul-ligii-2-schimbarile-din-clasament-si-cine-ii-va-lua-locul-echipei-16964116 S-a terminat!

This club also pretend to be the successor of FC Olimpia, but again, were not legal connection between the old entity and this new one.<ref>[http://liga2.prosport.ro/seria-1/diverse/olimpia-a-murit-traiasca-cele-doua-olimpii-care-au-aparut-la-satu-mare-autoritatile-locale-si-suporterii-au-dat-start-separat-noilor-proiecte-17343319 Olimpia a murit, trăiască cele două Olimpii care au apărut la Satu Mare!
