CSO Filiași
association football team
Club Sportiv Orășenesc Filiași, commonly known as CSO Filiași, or simply as Filiași, is a Romanian football club based in Filiași, Dolj County, currently playing in the Liga IV, the fourth tier of Romanian football.
Founded in 2009, CSO Filiași competed at county level until 2014, when the team earned promotion to Liga III. Since then, Filieșenii have established themselves as a stable mid-table side in the third tier, achieving four 2nd-place finishes in their series and reaching the quarter-finals of the Cupa României in the 2021–22 campaign.
History
Football in Filiași has been documented since the postwar period, when CFR Filiași was first mentioned in the press following a friendly match against the newly founded UNSR Craiova, which ended in a 6–3 victory. The first recorded lineup of the team included V. Gheorghe (Răcăreanu I), Stomnevici, Tobă, Olar, Bicică, Cricitoiu II, Rada, Răcăreanu II, Udrescu, Ruicu, and Merfu. Over the decades, the team competed in regional, district, and county championships under various names, including Progresul, Olimpia, Avântul, and TRAFO Filiași.
In the mid-1990s, the club competed as Energo TMC Filiași in the Dolj County Championship. The 1995–96 season ended in relegation after a last-place finish. The team soon changed its name to Mecanica Filiași and earned promotion, but the return to a higher division proved difficult. A 17th-place finish in the 1997–98 season should have led to immediate relegation, but the team was spared due to the withdrawal of other clubs. However, the following campaign ended with an 18th-place finish, and relegation followed after a 3–4 loss in the promotion/relegation play-off against SCCF Giroc.

Why this record matters
“CSO Filiași” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Filiași, association and football provides the most credible route into that argument.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q55620895. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2009, 2014, 2021 and 1995.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
