Eltérő utakon egyazon cél felé, avagy így törte meg Erdély a bukaresti futballhegemóniát
On Different Paths toward a Common Goal: How Transylvania Broke the Bucharest Football Hegemony

Summary/Abstract: CFR Cluj and Sepsi OSK the two teams that have placed Transylvania back on the football map. One introduced a purely profit-oriented capitalism into Romanian football, while the other brought back national minorities to the top league through community-building efforts. Two completely different club models, with vastly different methods and impacts, but facing very similar reception from the centralized nation-state. However, in 21st-century Romanian football, it was indeed only these two clubs that introduced truly new elements, breaking the increasingly oppressive Bucharest hegemony established during communism, both in trophies, revenue, and successful international cup performances.
