Asociația Fotbal Club UTA Arad (Romanian pronunciation:[ˈutaaˈrad]), commonly known as UTA Arad or simply UTA (Uzina Textilă Arad ("Textiles Factory of Arad")), is a Romanian professional football club based in the city of Arad, Arad County that competes in the Liga I.
The team was founded in 1945 as IT Arad, and has won six national titles and two Cupa României. Domestically, UTA is one of the most successful Romanian sides of the 20th century, sharing with Chinezul Timișoara the record for the most title wins outside Bucharest, earning it the nickname Campioana Provinciei ("Provincial Champion"), a record which ended during the conclusion of the 2020–21 season when newcomer team CFR Cluj claimed its seventh Liga I trophy. UTA Arad's decline began with a transfer to the second division in 1979, and it appeared in the top flight before being dissolved in 2014. UTA Arad was eventually promoted from the Liga IV[1] and managed to return to the Liga I in 2021.
The team plays in red and white uniforms at the new Francisc von Neuman Stadium, which was opened in 2020. UTA holds a long-standing rivalry with neighbouring SSU Politehnica Timișoara, with whom it contests the West derby.[note 1]
