Combinatul de Industrializare a Lemnului Sighetu Marmaţiei, commonly know as CIL Sighetu Marmaţiei, was a Romanian football club based in Sighetu Marmaţiei, being one of the top teams of the Maramureş County during the Communist regime, alongside FC Baia Mare and Minerul Cavnic.
History
[edit]Early days
[edit]In 1936, along with the foundation of Liga III, it was created the first football club from Sighetu Marmaţiei, named Maramureşul.[1] After the dissolution of the third tier of Romanian football, Maramureşul continued to play in regional football leagues.
When the Second World War ended, the team was renamed Tisa Sighet, after the river Tisa, which separates Sighet and Solotvyno village from Ukraine. After the best Liga III season since foundation, the team won the promotion to Liga II, but relegates after just one season back to the third tier, being renamed C.F.R..[2]
After another season, Liga III was again dissoluted, but, after six years, the competition was re-founded and the Sighet-based team played again under a new name : Recolta.[2] In the following years, the team is renamed several times : Tisa, then Stăruinţa and Foresta. [2]
In 1966, the team, under the name Forestiera Sighet, relegates into Liga IV.[2]
C.I.L. Sighet
[edit]At the end of 1967-68 season, the team wins the promotion to Liga III, changing for the last time its name, to CIL Sighetu Marmaţiei, after the wood-processing factory based in the town.[2]
The 1974-75 season saw CIL Sighet winning the Liga III 10th group and the promotion to Liga II for the second time. The first Liga II season after twenty-seven years seals the club's best performance ever : the fifth position in the Romanian second tier. After only three seasons, the team relegates again to Liga III, but gains the promotion after only a season.[2]
The team spends another three seasons in Liga II, relegating at the end of 1983-84 season and promoting again after another year, when it played for the first time in the third league against another Sighet-based team : ISSM Sighetu Marmaţiei. After the 1990-91 season, the team relegates for the last time to Liga III.
Dissolution
[edit]After the 1989 Romanian Revolution, which sealed the fall of communism, the team lost its financial support and struggled to survive for a year and a half. In 1990, the team won the promotion to Liga II, but after only a season, in 1991, CIL relegated to the third league. At the beginning of 1991-92 season, CIL Sighet, alongside Oaşul Negreşti-Oaş and Rapid Jibou, retired from the championship and disappeared. [3]
