U Craiova 1948 Club Sportiv II, commonly known as Universitatea II Craiova (Romanian pronunciation: [universiˈtate̯a kraˈjova]), U II Craiovais the reserve squad of Romanian first league side, CS Universitatea Craiova.

History

The team was founded in the summer of 2014 from the desire of having a second senior squad where the players who finished the youth academy could be accommodated with the level of seniors, in the idea of being subsequently promoted to the first squad. The team was enrolled in the Liga IV – Dolj County where it was crowned as champion after just one season, winning the league, then the playoff tournament.[2][3] The team qualified for the Liga III promotion play-off where they won without any problems, 12–0 on aggregate against Pandurii Cerneți, Mehedinți County champions.[4]

After promotion, the satellite was managed by former Craiova players as Bogdan Vrăjitoarea, Corneliu Papură or Dragoș Bon and obtained following rankings: 2015–16 – 12th of 15, 2016–17 – 11th of 15 and 2017–18 – 5th of 15.

Grounds

Complexul Sportiv Ion Oblemenco

In the first season of its existence Universitatea II Craiova played all the home matches on the second ground from the Ion Oblemenco Sports Complex, near Ion Oblemeco Stadium.

Stadionul Oltenia

The promotion to Liga III was corroborated with the demolition of the stadium, fact that determined the move of the first squad from Ion Oblemenco Stadium to Extensiv Stadium and the move of the second team from Ion Oblemenco Sports Complex to Oltenia Stadium in Ișalnița, with a capacity of 2,000 seats.[5]

Stadionul Extensiv

In 2016 CS Universitatea Craiova moved its official home matches to Municipal Stadium in Drobeta-Turnu Severin, action that caused the move of the satellite from Ișalnița back to Craiova, this time on Extensiv Stadium with a capacity of 7,000 seats.

On 10 November 2017 the reconstructed Ion Oblemenco Stadium was inaugurated with a friendly match between CS Universitatea Craiova and SK Slavia Prague. After this event, the first squad moved back to Ion Oblemenco Stadium and the second team remained for its official matches on Extensiv Stadium.
