The club's initial name was Asociația Sportivă și Culturală (Cultural and Sports Association).

In 1942, because of WW II, the championship is interrupted, with the club on the 2nd position of the table.

In 1946, after the war, Gloria missed the chance of a quick come-back to the Divizia A, after it lost the play-off against Prahova Ploieşti, 2–5 overall.

During the 1946–1951 period the club plays in the Divizia B, and changes its name two times, CFR (1948) and Locomotiva (1950).

In 1957, the club came back to its traditional name of Gloria CFR, but with no big success, not being able to pass the Divizia C where it was seen almost regularly, until 1970, after which it disappears.
