Biography
Formation
Fotbal Club FCSB, originally known as FC Steaua București, is a prominent Romanian professional football club based in Bucharest. The club was founded on June 7, 1947, under the name ASA București (Asociația Sportivă a Armatei București) by several officers of the Romanian Royal House, following a decree signed by General Mihail Lascăr. The initial formation included a football section coached by Coloman Braun-Bogdan, who led the team through its early training camps despite limited resources. The club quickly evolved, acquiring its first training suits and boots, which laid the groundwork for its competitive future.
Early Success and Name Changes
In 1949, the club achieved its first major success by winning the Cupa României, defeating CSU Cluj 2–1 in the final. Over the years, the club underwent several name changes, becoming CSCA in 1948 and later CCA in 1950. This period marked the beginning of a rich history in Romanian football, with the club establishing itself as a formidable force in the Liga I, the top tier of Romanian football.
Legacy and Controversies
FCSB's legacy is intertwined with its historical achievements, as UEFA and the Liga Profesionistă de Fotbal (LPF) recognize it as the continuation of FC Steaua București, attributing all honors since 1947 to this entity. However, the ownership of many trophies won between 1947 and 2003 has been a subject of legal disputes, particularly with the former parent club CSA Steaua. Recent court rulings have clarified some aspects of this dispute, but the matter remains contentious, highlighting the complex history of this iconic club in Romanian football.

1947–1949: Foundation and early years
ASA București (Asociația Sportivă a Armatei București – "Army Sports Association") was founded on 7 June 1947 at the initiative of several officers of the Romanian Royal House. The establishment took place following a decree signed by General Mihail Lascăr, High Commander of the Romanian Royal Army. It was formed as a sports society with seven initial sections, including football, coached by Coloman Braun-Bogdan. The decision had been adopted on the ground that several officers were already playing for different teams, which was premise to a good nucleus for forming a future competitive team.
With this squad, Coloman Braun-Bogdan, the first coach in the club's history, went to a sustained training camp in the mountain resort of Sinaia. Although shirts, boots and balls were missing, atmosphere inside the team was rather optimistic. Thanks to sustained efforts, in the shortest time possible, the club soon acquired the first training suits, navy green, duck material of, and the first shirts, blue. The big surprise, however, were the 40 pairs of boots the club had purchased for the 20 selected players. ASA was renamed CSCA (Clubul Sportiv Central al Armatei – "Central Sports Club of the Army") in 1948 and CCA (Casa Centrală a Armatei – "Central House of the Army") in 1950.

Legacy
Note: As of June 2018, UEFA and LPF regard FCSB as the continuation of historical FC Steaua București and attribute all honours since 1947 to this entity. However, the ownership of the many trophies won between 1947 and 2003 is disputed, with the restarted football department of former parent club CSA Steaua also claiming them following legal disputes between the two organisations. In July 2019, CSA Steaua won a first court decision regarding the record dispute. However, the ruling is not definitive. In June 2021, the Bucharest Court of Appeal decided that CSA Steaua only holds the record from 1947 to 1998 (and not from 1947 to 2003). However, FC FCSB has the right to appeal within 30 days.
