History
''Armătura and FC Zalău (1949–2017)''
FC Armătura Zalău was founded in 1946 as CS Zalău and since 1975 was owned by Armătura Zalău, main factory of the city, with the field of activity "Iron and Steel Industrial Fittings". Armătura was the most representative football team of Zalău and Sălaj County, playing at the national level and at its best, in the second tier. Over time, notable players such as Mircea Bolba, Alin Chibulcutean, Claudiu Cornaci, Vasile Dobrău, Adrian Gongolea, Vasile Jula, Florin Sabou or Gabriel Vașvari wore the red and black kits of Armătura and managers such as Leontin Grozavu or Iosif Vigu, among others, led "the Steelworkes" from the technical bench. After 1990 the factory's activity started to decline and since 2000, Liviu Olar Pop, a local businessman was the main sponsor of the football team. In 2005, Pop decided to withdraw its support and Armătura was dissolved.FC Zalău was founded in the spring of 2006, in order to continue Zalău's football legacy. The founder and owner of the new team was Ioan Morar, a local businessman, as well as a former business partner of Liviu Olar Pop. The club was enrolled in the Liga IV and after two defeats in the promotion play-offs FC Zalău was finally promoted at the end of the 2007–08 season. Zălăuanii won their third promotion play-off, 1–0, against Spicul Mocira, then played for 9 years at the level of Liga III and even had intentions to promote in the second tier, at some time, but was finally dissolved in the summer of 2017, due to financial problems.
