About Gloria Bistrița

Clubul Sportiv Gloria Bistrița, commonly known as Gloria Bistrița or simply as Gloria, is a Romanian football club based in Bistrița, Bistrița-Năsăud County, competing in Liga II, the second tier of Romanian football.

Founded in 2018 as 1. FC Gloria Bistrița, the team is widely seen as the unofficial successor of ACF Gloria Bistrița, sharing its name, colors (white and blue), stadium, and even former staff and players. In 2021, it was taken over by the Bistrița-Năsăud County Council and renamed Gloria Bistrița-Năsăud. In 2025, it dropped "Năsăud" to strengthen its identity and align more closely with the Municipality of Bistrița.
