Asociația Clubul Sportiv Fotbal Feminin Baia Mare is a Romanian women's football club based in Baia Mare, Maramureș County, Romania.

The Ladies of the river are currently playing in the Liga II, of the Romanian women's football system.[1]

## History

[edit]

Originally founded in 2009[2] as a female section of Asociația Sportivă Independența Baia Mare, a club founded itself in 2000,[3] it was commonly known as Independența Baia Mare, or simply Independența[4] until 2020. The team first affiliated to Romanian Football Federation only on 8 August 2011, since then playing constantly in the Romanian leagues. At the conclusion of the 2019–20 season which saw the disbandment of fellow Maramureș County club ACS Venus Maramureș, all the women's football actors in the county decided to join forces, and on 15 July 2020 the Independența team was renamed and rebranded to reflect this change.[5][6][7] The change was approved in the Romanian Football Federation's Executive Committee of 3 August 2020.[8]

In its history it relegated twice by finishing at the bottom of the top league Superliga after the 2013–14 and 2016–17 seasons, but in both instances it gained the promotion the very next season. Its best result in the top league was 6th place in the 2015–16 Superliga, while in the Romanian Cup, it reached the quarterfinals twice, in 2016–17 and 2018–19.
