CSU Craiova’s badge is a blue-and-white shield with the word “CRAIOVA” across the top and repeated curved blue lines framing the lower part of the design. In the centre, a white lion holds a sword above a football inside a blue shield.
The lion is the club’s defining symbol and connects to one of Universitatea Craiova’s best-known nicknames, “Leii din Bănie” — “the Lions of Bănie.” The blue-and-white colours reflect the club’s traditional identity, widely associated with the “Alb-albaștrii” nickname.
Universitatea Craiova’s roots go back to 1948, when the football section of the university sports club was created. The current badge keeps the city name, lion symbol, football reference and blue-and-white identity in a modern, clean crest.
