The club's players are known as oșenii, which means the inhabitants of Țara Oașului, a historical region of Romania situated between current administrative divisions of Satu Mare County and Maramureș County. The red-white-blues are the most important club of this historical region, the only one that played at the level of the second division, while the main local rival is Voința Turț (former Minerul Turț) – club which as it best reached the third tier. Other local and regional rivalries are against Olimpia Satu Mare and Minaur Baia Mare.
History
editOașul Negrești-Oaș was founded in 1969 under the name of Energia Negrești-Oaș and enrolled in the Divizia D, Satu Mare Series. After three seasons spent at the level of the 4th tier, Energia promoted to Divizia C in the summer of 1973, after winning its series, but now under the name of Oașul Negrești-Oaș. For the next 18 years the team was a constant presence at the level of Divizia C, but mainly with rankings in the middle and lower parts of the league table (between 7th and 13th, out of 16 teams), never achieved one of the top three places and at its best, Oașul achieved a 4th place, twice, at the end of the 1983–84 and 1989–90 seasons. Finally, the run of the red-white-blues ended during the 1991–92 season, when the club withdrew due to financial problems.[1]

The club based in Negrești-Oaș was quickly regrouped and at the end of the 1993–94 season promoted again in the third league of the Romanian football league system, but now the story would be different and after only one season Oașul relegated again and promoted back only four years later, in 1999. The third promotion was luckier, in the first season oșenii equalizing their best result (4th place), followed two seasons in which the club from Satu Mare County barely survived at this level, but then again, Oașul found the strength for a new good season, surpassing the old record after a rank on the 3rd place and a promotion to an extended version of the Divizia B, with three series consisting of 16 teams each one. During the 2003–04 season, under the management of former Steaua București goalkeeper, Zoltan Ritli the club set new records for the football of Negrești-Oaș and Țara Oașului (1st season in the second division, best ranking – 8th place), above some teams such as Corvinul Hunedoara, CSM Reșița or FC Baia Mare.[2] After another season, Oașul Negrești relegated back to the third division, after it was ranked 14th out of 16. However, the team's decline could not be stopped and relegated again at the end of the 2005–06 Divizia C season (12th of 13).
In 2007 the team was re-organized under its first name, Energia Negrești-Oaș, but since then the team never managed to promote again at the national level.[3] In 2018, eleven years after its reorganization, Energia won Satu Mare Series of the Liga IV, with one point ahead Crasna Moftinu Mic, but did not make it to the promotion play-offs, due to organizational problems.[4] In 2021 the red-white-blues started to think again about promotion and with the financial support of the local authorities and local businessmen and after a 2nd place, just behind Victoria Carei, in the summer of 2022, Energia Negrești-Oaș was renamed again as Oașul Negrești-Oaș, with the clear objective of attacking the promotion.[5]
