Maccabi or Macabi București, later known as Ciocanul, was a Romanian sport club, representing the Jewish community, akin to the famous Hakoah Vienna.

Named after the Maccabees and centering on football competitions, it was the first Jewish side to send a player, the goalkeeper Samuel Zauber, to the FIFA World Cup (at its 1930 edition in Uruguay).

Maccabi București was founded in 1919 by a Jewish entrepreneur at a time when representatives of the ethnic minorities of Greater Romania established distinctive football sides (another such example was Elpis Constanţa, which was owned by a Greek-Romanian businessman).

[2] Before the 1940–1941 season, at a time when Romania adopted antisemitic policies, the club was expelled from official competitions.

In May 1948, it merged with Unirea Tricolor București, to create the present-day major Romanian club Dinamo, which was administrated by the Ministry of the Interior.
