Colțea București came from the desire to create a club at the time made up only of Romanian football. The headquarters of the club was "Bolta Rece", the current Arcul de Triumf Stadium, next to Arcul de Triumf and next to Herăstrău Park. The club was founded to oppose foreign American, English and German teams and to prove Romanian sporting abilities.
In June 1913, a few students at the "St. Sava" created a football team. Because they were neighbors, gave him the street name: "Colțea".
