  Abstract:  The sport-life in Cluj between 1868-1914 was defined by diversity regarding the number of the sporting unions and the types of sports played. The founding of the sport unions started in 1869 and by 1873 the city already had three sporting unions (gymnastics and fencing, shooting and skating) working in parallel. Their ranks got enriched by the athletic and cycling unions, and by the 1890s the football union also joined in. The Hungarian state didn’t give any financial support to the unions, so they were forced to provide for themselves and create this financial background on their own. The events organized were meant to popularize the union’s activity. Among other things the unions also had to see the completion of the sporting establishments through.
