Tractorul Brașov

Tractorul Brașov was a football team from Brașov, Brașov County, Romania.

Beginnings

Tractorul Brașov was founded in 1927 under the name IAR Brașov (Industria Aeronautică Română Brașov; English: Romanian Aeronautical Industry Brașov). Later, the team returned to activity after merging with Forex Brașov and currently competes in the Brașov County Fourth League.

In its early years, the club remained in the shadow of local rivals Colțea and Brașovia, which is why it was not involved in the establishment of Division A in 1932. During this period, one of Romania's most important players, Iuliu Bodola, spent a season at the club.

It was not until 1935 that IAR earned promotion to the newly founded Division B and immediately won its season. However, the team failed in the league play-off and missed qualification for Division A the following year via the promotion playoff. After finishing eighth in the 1936–37 season, the club competed in regional leagues in subsequent years.

Post-World War II era

Following the resumption of football after World War II, IAR qualified for Division B. With the factory’s shift to tractor production and its renaming to the Tractorul Brașov Factory in 1948, the club also changed its name to Clubul Sportiv Tractorul Brașov. At the end of the 1947–48 season, it was relegated to Division C, which was dissolved during the 1948–49 season. As a result, Tractorul was forced to compete in the regional league again in the following years.
