Wikipedia - U-BT Cluj-Napoca

U-Banca Transilvania Cluj-Napoca, commonly known as U-BT Cluj-Napoca, is a professional basketball club based in Cluj-Napoca, Romania that competes domestically in the Liga Națională de Baschet and internationally in the EuroCup. Like other teams that were initially part of the Universitatea Cluj multi sports club, the basketball team keeps the letter U (short form of Universitatea) in its name. The main sponsor of the team is the locally based banking institution Banca Transilvania. The team colors are black and white. U-BT Cluj plays its home games at the BTarena, which accommodates 10,000 spectators, or in Horia Demian Sports Hall with a capacity of 2,525 spectators.

Initially being founded in 1947, the basketball team split from the parent sports club at the beginning of the 2000s, due to financial difficulties, retaining its place in the top tier of Romanian basketball. While the fans consider the current club as the moral successor of the team that won three league titles before the turn of the century, the parent club claims all the trophies won before 2002 as part of its own records. In 2017, an image partnership was agreed between U-BT Cluj-Napoca and FC Universitatea Cluj (the local football club which itself was functioning as a private entity following its split from the parent sports club), uniting them under the same brand. Therefore, beginning with the 2017-18 season, U-BT Cluj-Napoca uses the same logo as the football club.

History

Whilst the parent sports club, U Cluj was founded in 1919, the basketball team was founded in 1947 and played for the first time in the Romanian Championship in 1966. Since then, U Cluj was a constant presence in the Romanian First Division, with their best performances being recorded in the 1990s, when they won three Romanian Championships.

During its history, the team had different names. Since 1990, the main sponsor is usually added to the name of the parent sports club, U Cluj. This resulted in a change of name every time the main sponsor was changed. Previous names of the team were U Ştiinţa, Ştiinţa IMF, U Metalul Rosu, U Fimaro, U SM Invest, U Sanex, and U Carbochim.

In the 2012–2013 season, U Mobitelco Cluj Napoca finished on 7th place (20 wins – 10 losses) and qualify for the play-off. Here the team played the first round against CSM Oradea but lost with 3–1. Also the team played the Romanian Cup final but lost against CS Gaz Metan Medias with the score 62–76. At the end of that season the coach and all the foreign players left the team.

The most famous player who played for U Cluj was Gheorghe Mureșan, who signed in 1993 with the Washington Bullets, becoming the tallest player ever in the NBA. He played 6 successful seasons with the Bullets and the New Jersey Nets, averaging a career 9.8 points, 6.4 rebounds and 0.5 assists. Mureșan obtained the title of NBA Most Improved Player following the 1995–96 NBA season. He began his career playing two years for Universitatea Cluj-Napoca.

Az U-Banca Transilvania Cluj egy 1921-ben alapított román profi kosárlabdacsapat, amely a román első osztályban, a Liga Națională-ban játszik. Hazai mérkőzéseiket a 7105 férőhelyes Sala Polivalentában játsszák Kolozsváron.

A csapat a román kosárlabda egyik legeredményesebb klubja, 10 bajnoki címmel és 10 Román Kupával a birtokában. Mivel nyerték az 1970-es és 1972-es FIBA Európa Liga bajnoki címet, ők az egyetlen román csapat, amely nemzetközi kosárlabdatornát nyert.

2018-ban a csapat visszavette a U Cluj nevet, miután 10 évet U Mobitelco Cluj néven játszott. 2020-ban a név U-Banca Transilvania Cluj-ra változott, miután a Banca Transilvania lett a csapat fő szponzora.

A 2022-23-as szezonra a csapat edzője Mihai Silvășan, a csapatkapitány pedig Patrick Richard. A csapatban olyan neves játékosok szerepelnek, mint Mike Moore, Emanuel Cățe, Jakub Kus, și Nemanja Gordić.

Az U-Banca Transilvania Cluj egy ambiciózus csapat, amely a román bajnoki cím és a nemzetközi versenyeken való jó szereplés elérését tűzte ki célul. A csapat szurkolói lelkesek és elkötelezettek, és a csapat otthona, a Sala Polivalentában mindig nagyszerű a hangulat.
