CS Sănătatea Servicii Publice Cluj

Sănătatea Cluj was founded in 1986, at the initiative of individuals devoted to football within the Cluj County Health Directorate, with Vasile Moldovan as the organizer and coach, and Dr. Dumitru Predescu as the president of the football section. Among the first players of the team were David Borza, Eugen Perde, Sergiu Dascăl, Ioan Abrudan, Dănuț Radu, Ilisie Dascăl, as well as the youth players Cristian Fărcășan, Sándor Balint, and others.

The club competed in the Cluj County Championships for nearly twenty years before earning promotion to Divizia C at the end of the 2004–05 season, after winning Divizia D – Cluj County. In the third division, The Green Viruses secured 3rd place in Series VIII during the 2005–06 season, followed by a 10th-place finish in Series V the next year.

In the 2007–08 season, Sănătatea narrowly avoided relegation, finishing 14th in Series VI but also achieved one of the greatest performances in club history by reaching the Round of 16 in Cupa României. The cup run began with victories over Someșul Ileanda (4–1), Minerul Iara (2–1), and Victoria Carei (2–1). The fourth round brought a stunning 1–0 victory over Gaz Metan Mediaș, followed by wins against Unirea Alba Iulia (3–2) and top-flight side UTA Arad (1–0).{{cite web|url=https://hotnews.ro/sanatatea-inainte-de-toate-823203|title=Sănătatea înainte de toate|language=ro|trans-title=Sănătatea before all|publisher=hotnews.ro|date=27 September 2007|access-date=2 February 2025|archive-date=2 February 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250202205954/https://hotnews.ro/sanatatea-inainte-de-toate-823203|url-status=live}} It ended in the Round of 16 with a 0–4 defeat against reigning champions Dinamo București at the Dr. Constantin Rădulescu Stadium in Gruia.

In the following season, the "Green Viruses" reached the Round of 32 in Cupa României after eliminating higher-ranked teams such as Universitatea Cluj and FCM Târgu Mureș, both with 1–0 victories. The campaign ended in September with a heavy 0–7 defeat against Politehnica Timișoara.{{cite web|url=https://adevarul.ro/sport/timisoara-sanatatea-cluj-7-0-banatenii-au-828147.html|title=Timișoara - Sănătatea Cluj 7-0 / Bănățenii au marcat într-un meci cât în tot sezonul|language=ro|trans-title=Timișoara - Sanătatea Cluj 7-0 / Bănățenii scored in one match as in the entire season|publisher=adevarul.ro|date=23 September 2009|access-date=2 February 2025|archive-date=4 February 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250204143007/https://adevarul.ro/sport/timisoara-sanatatea-cluj-7-0-banatenii-au-828147.html|url-status=live}} Sabo left in October 2009{{cite web|url=https://adevarul.ro/sport/fotbal-revine-radu-sabo-in-tricoul-lui-u-cluj-1033962.html|title=Revine Radu Sabo în tricoul lui "U" Cluj?|language=ro|trans-title=Will Radu Sabo return in the shirt of "U" Cluj?|publisher=adevarul.ro|date=18 October 2009|access-date=27 July 2024|archive-date=4 February 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250204141911/https://adevarul.ro/sport/fotbal-revine-radu-sabo-in-tricoul-lui-u-cluj-1033962.html|url-status=live}} and was replaced by Marius Semeniuc,{{cite web|url=https://romanialibera.ro/special/marius-semeniuc-antrenor-la-sanatatea-cluj-166995/|title=Marius Semeniuc, antrenor la Sănătatea Cluj|language=ro|trans-title=Marius Semeniuc, coach at Sanatatea Cluj|publisher=romanialibera.ro|date=9 October 2009|access-date=2 February 2025|archive-date=4 February 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250204141520/https://romanialibera.ro/special/marius-semeniuc-antrenor-la-sanatatea-cluj-166995/|url-status=live}} who led the team to an 11th-place finish.
