Clubul Sportiv Municipal Aurul Brad, commonly known as CSM Aurul Brad, or simply as Aurul Brad, is a Romanian amateur football club based in Brad, Hunedoara County, founded in 1934. The club is currently playing in the Liga IV.
History
Aurul Brad was founded in 1934, under the name of Mica Brad. Throughout its over 85 years of history, the club was also known as Metalul Brad or Progresul Brad.[1]
In the 1940–41 season, Aurul Brad played in the Divizia A, the first tier of the Romanian football league system. This was a notable achievement for a small town like Brad and the team was also able to finish in 5th, out of 13. That was the last season before World War II. After WWII, Aurul never managed to play again in the first league, despite it was never relegated.
Ground
The team plays its home matches in Brad, Hunedoara County, on the Aurul Stadium, with a capacity of 1,500 seats.
