CFF Clujana was founded in 2001 by the businessman Florin Chelaru in collaboration with Mirel and Teodora Albon.

[1] The team manages to win its first title in 2003 and proceeded to establish itself as the most successful Romanian women's football team of the 2000s, being champions for seven consecutive years between 2003 and 2009, and winning four Romanian Cups.

In 2009, the coach, Mirel Albon, the brain behind the team's success, left the club due to increasingly divergent views with Chelaru.

[2] Next year, Albon proceeded to form his own club, taking with him a significant part of Clujana's top players.

In the two seasons that followed, rivals Olimpia won the title, while Clujana finished in the bottom part of the championship.
