Founded in 1880 as Kolozsvári Atlétikai Club, the football section was founded in 1904 and the team first entered the Hungarian second league in 1907–1908 season. The team participated in the Eastern District of the second Hungarian league. After being runner-up three times in 1907–1908, 1908-1909 and 1911–12, they finally became district champions in the 1913–14 season, even though the season was discontinued due to the beginning of World War I.

After the World War I, the city of Kolozsvár/Cluj became part of Romania, and from this time it participated in the Romanian league system. The club played in the Romanian regional championship until 1934 when it was promoted to Divizia B. It spent 2 seasons there until its 1938 relegation.
