Club Atletic Oradea (Romanian pronunciation: [ˌklub aˈtletik oˈrade̯a]), commonly known as CA Oradea or CAO, is a Romanian football club based in Oradea. It was founded in 1910 and it soon became one of the best teams in the country. The club was dissolved in 1963 and refounded in the summer of 2017.
Established in 1910, when Transylvania was still part of Austria-Hungary, Nagyváradi Atletikai Club - in Romanian: Club Atletic Oradea - will soon become the symbol of the football from Oradea. Its initials, NAC, then CAO, will require respect. The colors of the club were white and green.
The constituent assembly was held on 25th May 1910, in the Emke Café, the board of directors being Dr. Emil Jonas, chairman, Béla Mikló, executive president, Andor Szabo, secretary, and Dr. Kálmán Kovács, cashier.
Before the World War I, the club activated only on a local and a regional level. Between 1920 and 1932 it competed in the regional championship, winning it a couple of times, in 1924 and 1925. From 1932 onwards, the divisionary level was introduced and the club took part in it. Their best performance was achieved in 1924 when they reached the national final where they faced Chinezul Timișoara, but lost 1–4.
During the 1932–1940 period they played for six seasons in Liga I (1932–1938) and two seasons in Liga II (1938–1940).
During World War II, the team played in the Hungarian Championship under the name Nagyváradi Atlétikai Club (NAC) and won one title at the end of the 1943–1944 season.
