This time the club's colors were also changed from "white and green" to "blue, bleu and white" similar with the colors combination used by Progresul București (which

11562-488: The integrity of the monarchy because of Austro-Hungarian support for Germany. The setbacks that the Austrian army suffered in 1914 and 1915 can be attributed to a large extent by the incompetence of the Austrian high command. After attacking Serbia, its forces soon had to be withdrawn to protect its eastern frontier against Russia's invasion, while German units were engaged in fighting on the Western Front. This resulted in

11703-399: The interwar period, CAO supplied eighteen Romanian internationals, however the majority were still ethnic Hungarians, Jews and Germans.

Starting with

11985-416: The lack of activity. However, friendly matches and different sporting activities were held, even in that tough situation and with all the problems generated by world conflagration. After the war, by the Treaty of Trianon Nagyvárad became part of Romania and officially became Oradea. The club and the city were still dominated by Hungarians. One of the most talented local players unearthed during this period

12126-609: The last phase in the constitutional evolution of the Habsburg monarchy : it was formed with the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 in the aftermath of the Austro-Prussian War and was dissolved shortly after Hungary terminated the union with Austria on 31 October 1918.

12408-659: The league table with a total of 45 points. The season was suspended during the winter break, due to COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, then on 21 May 2020, CAO was crowned as the champions of Liga IV , Bihor Series based on the results of the matches that were played in the autumn of 2019.

12549-413: The league table. The situation of Oradea's football club seemed problematic, but Progresul was unexpectedly well organized, signing in the spring of 1955 a new manager, its former player (newly retired, at that time) Ladislau Zilahi . As a Divizia B team, Progresul Oradea reached the 1955 Cupa României final , which was lost with 3–6 în front of CCA București . The following year as a Divizia A team,

12690-414: The local authorities opted for CSM Crișana Oradea , another confusing choice, because this name was already used by a completely different club (see Crișana Oradea ), before World War II , also a bitter rival of CA Oradea. After yo-yoing between the top two divisions for a few years (Rónay returned as coach in 1962–63), in 1963 the club was dissolved. That same year another club from Oradea won promotion to

By summer 1918, " Green Cadres " of army deserters formed armed bands in the hills of Croatia-Slavonia and civil authority disintegrated. By late October violence and massive looting erupted and there were efforts to form peasant republics. However, the Croatian political leadership

13113-452: The middle was placed a local coat of arms. After 1945, the club was moved back in Romania, but this time under the communist regime installed by the Soviets, fact that led to the removal of any Hungarian names. The club's name, as well as the crest, were frequently changed, not less than five times in the next 20 years. Some of them were lost in time, but for example, between 1951 and 1958, when

13254-497: The military forces until Emperor Karl I took the supreme command himself in late 1916 and dismissed Conrad von Hötzendorf in 1917. Meanwhile, economic conditions on the homefront deteriorated rapidly. The Empire depended on agriculture, and agriculture depended on the heavy labor of millions of men who were now in the Army. Food production fell, the transportation system became overcrowded, and industrial production could not successfully handle

13395-460: The military to continue to wage war. This was shown in a transition of power after which the Hungarian prime minister, Count István Tisza, and foreign minister, Count István Burián , had decisive influence over the internal and external affairs of the monarchy. By late 1916, food supply from Hungary became intermittent and the government sought an armistice with the Entente powers. However, this failed as Britain and France no longer had any regard for

13536-434: The multiethnic Empire, as they refused to keep on fighting for a cause that now appeared senseless. The Emperor had lost much of his power to rule, as his realm disintegrated. On 14 October 1918, Foreign Minister Baron István Burián von Rajecz asked for an armistice based on President Woodrow Wilson 's Fourteen Points and two days later Emperor Karl I issued a proclamation ("Imperial Manifesto of 16 October 1918") altering

13818-444: The national title in different countries. After World War II , the communist regime in Romania had a negative impact on the club's identity, forcing it to change its name and colours several times. In 1945 it was renamed Libertatea Oradea , in 1948 Întreprinderea Comunală Oradea (ICO) , in 1951 Progresul Oradea , in 1958 CS Oradea , and in 1961 CSM Crișana Oradea (not to be confused with Crișana Oradea ).

14241-459: The other one. Two years later, with the national league reorganized into one division, CAO finished as runners-up, sandwiched between the two dominant clubs of the period, Ripensia Timișoara and Venus București . In 1938–39 the club was relegated to a restructured Divizia B, where they remained until the next war brought a strange upturn in fortunes. In 1932, the management of the club decided that contact with football in other countries would help

14382-433: The overwhelming need for munitions. Germany provided a great deal of help, but it was not enough. Furthermore, the political instability of the multiple ethnic groups of Empire now ripped apart any hope for national consensus in support of the war.

14523-579: The population moved to the unoccupied Romanian territory, in Moldavia , together with the Romanian government, royal court and public authorities, which relocated to Iași .

Although

14664-660: The private parts. Municipality of Oradea wanted a merger between the two brands, Club Atletic Oradea (owned by Oradea Renaștem Împreună) and FC Bihor Oradea (owned by the Municipality), while the private side did not agree with this and wanted to continue the Club Atletic Oradea project.

CA Oradea had a good 2021–22 season and was ranked 2nd, out of 10, qualifying for Liga II promotion play-offs, where it was eliminated in the semi-final round, by Corvinul Hunedoara , 2–4 on aggregate. On 24 June 2022, Club Atletic Oradea announced officially

14946-476: The role of protector of Slavs and Orthodox Christians. Austria envisioned a multi-ethnic, religiously diverse empire under Vienna's control. Count Gyula Andrássy, a Hungarian who was Foreign Minister (1871–1879), made the centerpiece of his policy one of opposition to Russian expansion in the Balkans and blocking Serbian ambitions to dominate a new South Slav federation. He wanted Germany to ally with Austria, not Russia. Russian Pan-Slavic organizations sent aid to

15087-449: The same communist regime, CA Oradea was re-established in the summer of 2017 as a private entity.

15228-495: The side of the Entente powers , hoping to gain territory from its former ally. The Austro-Hungarian Empire played a relatively passive diplomatic role in the war, as it was increasingly dominated and controlled by Germany.

Starting in late 1916 the new Emperor Karl removed the pro-German officials and opened peace overtures to

In his [Wilhelm's] opinion, though, there

15651-425: The summer of the same year, 1958, Progresul Oradea was renamed again, this time as CS Oradea . For a total misleading of the public, the logos of the two clubs were now almost identical, and the colors of CS Oradea (CAO) had also become red and blue, both teams playing on the same stadium, Iuliu Bodola Stadium .

16074-438: The top division, Crișul Oradea, a club which was mostly known as FC Bihor Oradea . The city of Oradea blazed brightly on the region's football firmament, with some of Hungary and Romania's greatest players of the age – one cup, and a league title in two countries – but it is now very much in the shadows: FC Bihor was dissolved on 12 January 2016 after a stormy history and in the spring of 2017 this dissolution subsequently realizing

18471-488: Was given full control of all the armed forces of the Central Powers and Austria-Hungary effectively became a satellite of Germany. The Austrians viewed the German army favorably; on the other hand, by 1916 the general belief in Germany was that Germany, in its alliance with Austria–Hungary, was "shackled to a corpse". The operational capability of the Austro-Hungarian army was seriously affected by supply shortages, low morale and
