The 2010–11 season saw FC Timișoara participate in Liga I, the Romanian Cup, and the UEFA Europa League. In November 2010, a Romanian Court of Appeal returned the name, the colors and the record of AEK Politehnica Timișoara to FC Timișoara. Due to rules that forbid changes of team names during a season, the team used the name FC Timișoara until the end of 2010–11 season.
