Current season

FCV Farul Constanța (Romanian pronunciation:[ˈfarulkonˈstantsa]), commonly known asFarul Constanța or simply asFarul, is a Romanian professionalfootballclub based in the city ofConstanța,Constanța County, that competes in theLiga I, the top tier ofRomanian football.Farul translates as "the Lighthouse" inRomanian, alluding to the fact that the city is situated on theBlack Sea coast.

Established in 1920 asSPM Constanța, the team had spent over 40 seasons in the first league before merging withViitorul Constanța in 2021. The highest position it achieved prior to the merger was fourth place on three occasions, and it also played aCupa României final in2005. Farul won its first Liga I title at the end of the2022–23 season, or the second overall if Viitorul's record is considered.[note 1]

Farul Constanța is known for itsacademy, which was inherited fromGheorghe Hagi, the joint top goalscorer of theRomania national team. Hagi is also the controlling shareholder of the company and coaches the senior team.

The club traditionally played its matches atFarul Stadium, but now uses the smallerViitorul Stadium inOvidiu until a new home ground will be built.

History

[edit]

Early years (1920–1949)

[edit]

The club was founded in 1920 as SPM Constanța (Serviciul Porturi Maritime – Maritime Port Services) and played under this name until 1946, when it was renamed PCA Constanța (Porturi Comunicații Ape – Ports Marine Communication).

Ascent (1949–1960)

[edit]

The modern history of the football club from Constanța began in 1949, when the city's two teams (Dezrobirea Constanța andPCA Constanța) merged to form Locomotiva PCA. The new club was registered for theDivizia B play-off with four other regional champions: Metalul 1 Mai Ploiești, Dinamo Oltenița, Progresul CPCS București and Bucegi Câmpulung Pitești. "Constănțenii" finished first in the group, and were promoted to the second league.

In 1953, Locomotiva PCA Constanța was renamed Locomotiva Constanța. A year later, at the end of the 1954 season, Locomotiva Constanța received its first promotion toDivizia A. The team was ranked first in the third series of Divizia B, with three points more than second-placeDinamo Bacău. After the last game, an away 1–0 win against Dinamo Bârlad, the players were welcomed at Constanța's old train station by a large crowd which had come to celebrate the promotion. The team consisted of Nebela, Doicescu, Zlotea, Mark, Tatomir, Jarnea (Bedivan, Manta), Vultur, Neli Ispas, Gogu Cojocaru, Sever, Cristof, Bobi Georgescu, Gigi Datcu, Linzoiu, Keszkei, coached by Ion Troancă.[2]

In the spring of1955, Locomotiva began their first season in the first league. The team was strengthened with players fromPolitehnica Timișoara,CFR București andFlamura Roșie Arad, and had a new coach:Eugen Mladin. The first match of "the Sailors" was played in Bucharest against future championDinamo București. Gogu Cojocaru scored first but the match was lost, 4–1. At the end of the season, Locomotiva finished 12th out of 13 teams and was relegated to Divizia B. During the season,Farul Stadium (1 Mai Stadium at the time) opened. Its debut match, on 23 March 1955, was a fourth-round league game between Locomotiva and defending championsFlamura Roșie Arad. Locomotiva won, 1–0, with a 40-meter goal by Manole.[2]

Locomotiva finished the1956 Divizia B season in sixth place, and finished third in 1957. The return to an autumn-spring format at the beginning of the 1957–58 season and the renaming of the team to Farul Constanța had brought good luck to the Sailors, who won the second league and returned to the first league ofRomanian football. After a tough first season in which the club barely avoided relegation, Farul had their best season to date and finished fourth in1959–60. The team consisted of players Horia Ghibănescu, Nicolae Botescu, Grigore Ciuncan, Lucrețiu Florescu, Gheorghe Corneanu, Gheorghe Toma, Petre Comăniță, Mircea Bibere, Eugen Pană, Gheorghe Datcu, Vasile Stancu, Constantin Moroianu, Ion Ciosescu, Paul Niculescu, Dumitru Sever, Iacob Olaru and Ștefan Nunu; head coachIosif Lengheriu, and president Foti Foti.[2]

The 1960s began with the Sharks in the first football league. Due to the failure of newcomersBrânzei, Stancu and Vasilescu to mesh with the team, at the end of the1960–61 season Farul finished 13th and was relegated withCSMS Iași andCorvinul Hunedoara. Motivated by their presence in the first league, theConstanțenii did not stay long in Divizia B; at the end of the 1961–62 season, they were promoted back to the first league after finishing first. That season, Farul also received its first national football title by winning the U-19 championship. The following year, the Sailors ended the first part of the season as leaders of theDivizia A. They did less well during the second part, and ranked fifth at the end of the season. During the1962–63 season, the offensive trio ofBükössy-Ciosescu-Dinulescu scored 48 goals. Farul Constanța won its second consecutive title in the U-19 league, with students of Gheorghe Smărăndescu defeatingDinamo București 2–1 in the final.[3]

Virgil Mărdărescu coached the club from 1965 to 1968

The next three seasons started well for Farul, but they finished in the middle of the pack. In1963–64, they finished eighth after occupying third place at the end of the first half; all-time goal-scorerMarin Tufan scored 62 goals. The following year, the Sailors finished only one point above first-relegated teamMinerul Baia Mare. In the1965–66 season, Farul finished ninth out of 14 teams. Their qualification for the1964–66 Balkans Cup was their first participation in European competitions; on 28 April 1965, Farul drew away withSpartak Plovdiv 1–1. They won 1–0 in Constanța two weeks later for their first European victory. In the next game, the white-and-blues first defeatedVardar 4–0 inSkopje and 1–0 in a second match. Their meeting with the Greek sideOlympiacos was divided; the Greeks won 1–0 atPiraeus, and Farul won aforfeit in Constanța for first place in Group A. The final of the competition was Romanian; Farul metRapid București, but lost on aggregate after a 3–3 draw in Bucharest and a 0–2 loss in Constanța. The team did well in theRomanian Cup, where the Sharks were eliminated in the semi-finals byUTA Arad (2–3).[3]

In the1966–67 season, Farul finished fourth in Divizia A. The squad consisted of Vasile Utu, Constantin Tâlvescu, Constantin Manciu, Marin Georgescu,Constantin Koszka, Martin Graef, Suliman Etem,Cicerone Manolache, Constantin Pleșa,Dumitru Antonescu, Ilie Ologu, Marin Tufan, Constantin Iancu,Tiberiu Kallo, Ion Zamfir,Dumitru Caraman,Iosif Bükössy, Constantin Mareș, Vasile Dumbravă; head coachVirgil Mărdărescu, and president Foti Foti. At the end of the season, Farul played six games in its first international tournament inLebanon,Kuwait andSyria.[3]

Between success and mediocrity (1967–1988)

[edit]
Farul Constanța's 1967–68 squad, which played in the Balkans Cup

Farul competed in the1966–67 Balkans Cup, and were drawn in a group againstAEK Athens (third place in theAlpha Ethniki),Lokomotiv Sofia (eighth place in theBulgarian First League) andVardar (10th place in theYugoslav First League). The Sailors started with two consecutive wins in Constanța: 4–1 against Lokomotiv Sofia, and 2–0 against Vardar Skopje. They could not replicate their home form in the away matches, however, losing all three: 0–4 against Vardar, 0–3 against AEK Athens, and 1–5 versus Lokomotiv Sofia. They drew 1–1 against AEK in the last group match, and finished the group stage in third place.

The Sharks finished the1967–68 season in seventh place, and again competed in theBalkans Cup. Their opponents wereBeroe Stara Zagora (10th place in theBulgarian First League),Vllaznia Shkodër (sixth place in theAlbanian Superliga) andGençlerbirliği (sixth place in theSüper Lig). Their results were 3–1 and 2–1 against Gençlerbirliği, two 1–2 losses atShkodër andStara Zagora, followed by a 2–1 win against Vllaznia inConstanța and a 1–2 defeat against Beroe. Farul ended the group stage in third place, and did not qualify for the next stage.

During the next two seasons, Farul consolidated its reputation as a difficult team to beat. They finished ninth and reached the semi-finals of the1968–69 Cupa României at the end of the1968–69 season. This was followed by sixth place in the league and reaching the quarter-finals of theCupa României in the1969–70 season.[4]

The early 1970s transformed Farul to a regular finisher in the middle of the Divizia A standings: 11th in1970–71 and1971–72 and eighth in1972–73. The team was renamed FC Constanța during the summer of 1973, finished fourth at the end of the next season, and qualified for the1975 Balkans Cup. The format of the competition had changed, and a group consisted of only three teams;Eskişehirspor (fourth in theSüper Lig) andLokomotiv Sofia (fifth in theBulgarian First League) were in Constanța's group. The team had one victory (2–1 against Lokomotiv Sofia), one draw (2–2 against Eskişehirspor) and two defeats (1–2 and 0–1 against Eskişehirspor and Lokomotiv), both in away matches.[4]

FC Constanța during the 1980s

Between 1974 and 1988 FC Constanța had uneven results, bouncing between the first and the second leagues and far from their results in the second half of the 1960s and the first half of the 1970s. After two 10th-place finishes in1974–75 and1975–76, FC Constanța barely avoided relegation in1976–77. They were relegated at the end of the following season after finishing 16th out of 18 teams.[5] Back in Divizia B after 16 years, Constanța finished fourth in the first season and second at the end of 1979–80, far behind leaderBrașov. The Sailors were promoted to the first league at the end of the1980–81 season. The team, led byEmanoil Hașoti and his assistant Petre Comăniță, included Costaș, Stancu, Borali,Antonescu, Nistor, Caramalău, Turcu, Purcărea, Gache, Drogeanu, Livciuc, Ancuța, Buduru,Peniu, Mărculescu,Petcu,I. Moldovan, and Ștefanovici.[6] However, another poor season followed, ending with a 14th-place finish in the1981–82 Divizia A and relegation at the end of the1982–83 season. FourDivizia B seasons followed with mediocre results: fifth in 1983–84 and fourth in 1984–85, 1985–86 and 1986–87.[7] The club was promoted toDivizia A at the end of the 1987–88 season, and was renamed Farul Constanța during the summer of 1988. Despite weaker results, the team contributedGheorghe Hagi, Constantin Gache,Ștefan Petcu,Ion Moldovan, and others to Romanian football.[4]

From UEFA Intertoto to Divizia B (1988–2001)

[edit]
Chart showing the progress of Farul's league finishes from 1946 until present.

The late 1980s and early 1990s found Farul in Divizia A with unimpressive results: ninth place in1988–89, 10th in1989–90 and1990–91, 13th in1991–92, ninth in1992–93 and sixth in1993–94. Although the team finished 11th in the1994–95 season, Farul made its debut in the1995 UEFA Intertoto Cup. Its five-team group also consisted ofCannes (ninth place inLigue 1),Dnepr Mogilev (fifth in theBelarusian Premier League),Bečej (fourth in theFirst League of Serbia and Montenegro) andPogoń Szczecin (eighth in theEkstraklasa). Farul unexpectedly won the group with three victories, one draw and no defeats. The next draw brought FarulHeerenveen, ninth in theEredivisie the previous season. The match was played in the Netherlands on 29 July 1995 at the 20,000-seatAbe Lenstra Stadion before 5,000 spectators. It was dominated by the Dutch side, which included a youngJon Dahl Tomasson. Farul coachFlorin Marin fieldedCristian MunteanuStelian Carabaș, Daniel Ghișan,Marian Dinu (C), Mihai Matei,Ștefan NanuGheorghe Barbu,Dănuţ Moisescu,Gheorghe CiureaMugurel Cornățeanu, and Laurențiu Zadea. In the 19-minuteErik Regtop opened the score in the 19th minute, and increased it 16 minutes later. After the break,Jon Dahl Tomasson (48') and Romeo Wounden (71') made the final score 4–0. The Sailors continued their good form the following season into the Romanian Cup, where they were eliminated in the quarter-finals.[8]

After the UEFA Intertoto Cup, Farul returned to its middle-table results: eighth in1995–96, 10th in1996–97, and 12th in1997–98 and1998–99. The most notable performance of these seasons was the 1,000th match played by Farul in the top flight of the Romanian football during the 1998–99 season. Financial problems and lack of local municipal interest left their mark on the team in1999–2000, after which the Sharks were relegated to Divizia B. Before the last match, the Sailors were in 13th position; they then lost 1–2 againstFC Onești and finished 15th, relegated after 12 years on the first stage of Romanian football.[9]

Motivated to return to the first stage, theConstănțenii andSportul Studențesc dominated Divizia B and finished the2000–01 season in second place with 74 points. This assured them a promotion-relegation play-off againstFCM Bacău, 14th in Divizia A. The two clubs shared victories, (2–1 and 1–2), and Farul was promoted after penalty shoot-outs. The return TO the top flight was also marked by the beginning of the ownersHIP era at Constanța. iN theSocialist Republic of Romania, all football clubs were publicly owned. After theRomanian Revolution, some clubs were publicly owned and others were privately owned. During the 1990s and early 2000s, most Romanian football clubs were owned by single individuals. Gheorghe Bosânceanu, owner of theConstanța Shipyard, bought Farul.[9]

Decline into bankruptcy (2001–2016)

[edit]

Despite being in a better financial situation, the Sailors finished 14th in the2001–02 season and had to play a promotion-relegation playoff. Farul metFC Baia Mare and defeated them 1–0 in Constanța. A 0–0 draw atBaia Mare meant that the white-and-blues remained in Divizia A.

The club finished 10th in2002–03, ninth in2003–04 and fifth in2004–05, behindSteaua București,Dinamo București,Rapid București andNațional București. That season, the Sharks played in theCupa României final. The67th final of the Cupa României was played atCotroceni Stadium againstDinamo București before 15,000 spectators, about 6,000 of whom were from Constanța. The referee wasLaurent Duhamel of France, andPetre Grigoraș fieldedGeorge Curcă (C) –Răzvan Farmache,Ion Barbu,Cristian Șchiopu,Cosmin Pașcovici (Mihai Baicu in the 75th minute) –Florin Lungu,Adrian Senin,Dinu Todoran (Laurențiu Florea in the 85th minute)Mihai Guriță,Vasilică Cristocea (Iulian Apostol in the 10th minute) –Liviu Mihai. Dinamo won, 1–0, on a goal byȘtefan Grigorie in the sixth minute.[9]

Farul continued its good form during the next season, when it reached the semi-finals of the Romanian Cup before it was eliminated byNațional București 2–4 on aggregate. The Sailors finished seventh in Divizia A and played in the2006 UEFA Intertoto Cup, where they eliminatedPobeda 4–2 on aggregate andLokomotiv Plovdiv 3–2 on aggregate. In the cup final, Farul metAuxerre (sixth inLigue 1). The French team participated in the competition due to the withdrawal of the ItalianPalermo side because of the2006 Italian football scandal. Farul lost 2–4 on aggregate, and missed its first chance to participate in theUEFA Cup. That season, despite over2 million promised by owner Gheorghe Bosânceanu, after the Auxerre match, Farul remained at the bottom of the rankings for the whole season and ended2006–07 in 14th place.[10]

The2007–08 season is considered one ofLiga I's best post-Revolution seasons, but Farul fared poorly. Theconstănțenii were last in the league for three weeks before saving themselves from relegation and finishing 13th. The next season continued the decline and, after almost 10 years in the top flight, Farul was again relegated to the second league. The Sharks' last match in the first division was an 0–6 loss toOtopeni.[11]

The relegation inspired eight-year owner Gheorghe Bosânceanu to sell the club to formerRocar București andȘtiința Bacău owner Giani Nedelcu; both clubs went bankrupt under his tenure. In2009–10, Farul finished in eighth place. The next season was full of emotion, with the club receiving itsLiga II license late because of growing financial problems and finishing 13th. The Sharks finished eighth in2011–12, far from promotion.[11]

Liga III began to feel possible during the2012–13 season.FCM Bacău,Astra II Giurgiu andCallatis Mangalia withdrew from Liga II, andDinamo II București andChindia Târgoviște were relegated; Farul barely escaped. In2013–14,Liga II changed its format to a play-off / play-out system; the Sailors finished the regular season in 11th place, in the play-out zone, but again eluded relegation. Farul again played in the2014–15 play-out, where it finished fourth and was saved from relegation. In2015–16, Farul finished the regular season in fourth place and entered the play-off group. The Sharks earned 29 points and finished fifth, giving supporters hope. However, Farul withdrew from the second league amid growing financial problems before the start of the2016–17 season. Although Nedelcu hoped to a license for the third league, theFRF Licensing Commission refused because of the threat of bankruptcy.[11] Farul Constanța was declared bankrupt on 22 September 2016, after 67 years representing the city of Constanța inLiga I,Liga II, theCupa României, theUEFA Intertoto Cup and theBalkans Cup.[11][12]

Rebirth, merger with Viitorul and return of Hagi (2016–present)

[edit]

When it became clear that bankruptcy was unavoidable, a group of Farul supporters organized as the Farul Supporters Association and moved quickly to continue the tradition of Farul Constanța. They founded Supporter Spirit Club Farul Constanța on 8 August 2016 to assure Farul's football continuity and avoid missed seasons.[13]

The new club retained Farul's white-and-blue colors and adopted its old logo with Constanța's lighthouse, theBlack Sea and a seagull in flight. The team was enrolled in theConstanța County series ofLiga IV in time for the2016–17 season.[11] Farul won theirseries, recording 32 victories in 34 games and scored 135 goals while allowing 14.[14] The Sailors then won thepromotion play-off 8–2 on aggregate againstTulcea County champions Pescărușul Sarichioi, and were promoted toLiga III. In the summer of 2017,Petre Grigoraș was named the new coach and important players were transferred. Farul was promoted at the end of the2017–18 season after a tough fight againstProgresul Spartac București, with whom they were tied until the season's final matches.[15]

In the summer of 2018, former Romanian international footballerCiprian Marica bought the Farul Constanța brand for €49,150 (228,892RON).[16] The move sparked a brief conflict between Marica and Farul supporters, despite Marica's claim to have attempted a dialogue with SSC Farul's leadership; Marica formed a new team, FC Farul Constanța, and enrolled it in Liga IV.[17] Marica and the supporters reached an agreement, with the ex-footballer announcing that he would take over SSC Farul; the Liga IV team would be the club's reserve team, and the brand would be transferred to the Liga II side.[18] Marica announced his plans for the club in his first press conference as Farul's owner, including promotion back toLiga I by 2020 and slowly building a team for the European competitions and league title.[19]

Gheorghe Hagi (owner and founder ofViitorul Constanța), Viitorul chairGheorghe Popescu, and Marica announced at a 21 June 2021 press conference that their teams had merged. The club which would continue inLiga I would be Farul, and Viitorul virtually disappeared in the merger. Farul would play its home matches atViitorul Stadium, since the oldFarul Stadium would be undergoing renovation.[20][21][22]

Farul topped the2022–23 SuperLiga standings, one point above reigning championsCFR Cluj. The club's march towards their first league title experienced a setback after a 1–2 defeat loss toFCSB on match day four, reducing the gap between the teams to two points.[23] A 1–0 victory by CFR ended Cluj's five-championship run, turning the league into a two-horse race between Farul and FCSB. Farul had further setbacks after 1–1 draws withSepsi OSK andUniversitatea Craiova, despite a record 7–2 win overRapid București between them, closing the gap between Farul and FCSB to one point. Farul won their first league title with a 3–2 win against FCSB, coming back from 0–2.[24]

Youth program

[edit]

As the senior teams of Farul and Viitorul merged in 2021, the Farul Constanța Academy subsequently merged withGheorghe Hagi Football Academy. Young players aged between 8 and 13 are now part of Gheorghe Hagi Academy, while players over 13 are part of Farul Constanța Academy.[20] Viitorul's academy was well known for developing young players in Romania and having some of the best facilities in the country.[25]

Grounds

[edit]
Main articles:Stadionul Farul andStadionul Viitorul (Ovidiu)
Stadionul Farul
Farul Stadium in the 1980s.

The club used to play its home matches onStadionul Farul inConstanța. Originally known asStadionul 1 Mai, the stadium was opened in 1955 and had the shape of the letter "U", but subsequently it was expanded with another stand, finally reaching the capacity of 15,520 seats.[26] After the bankruptcy of the club in 2016, the new entity has encountered administrative problems that have prevented the team from playing on the stadium for more than a year and a half. SSC Farul played from 2016 until 14 April 2018 on Stadionul Sparta, fromTechirghiol, with a capacity of 1,000 people. Stadionul Farul reached an advanced condition of degradation due to lack of activity, and had to be cleaned and restored as functional by Farul supporters through several volunteer campaigns.[27][28]

In 1970, Stadionul Farul became the first stadium in Romania to have floodlights installed.[29]

On 21 June 2021, as the merge between Farul andViitorul was announced, it was also mentioned that Farul will play its home matches onViitorul Stadium, due toFarul Stadium's advanced state of degradation.

Support

[edit]

Farul has many supporters in theDobruja region, and especially inConstanța. Farul supporters are organized in the Farul Supporters Association, and this organization brought the club back to life in 2016 after the bankruptcy of the old entity. The first ultras group, entitled "Ultras Farul '92", appeared in 1992. They were followed in 1996 by "Legiunea Marină", and over time by several other groups, such as: "Aria Ultra'", "Baricada", "Fervent" or "Alcoholics".

Rivalries

[edit]

The traditional rivals of "the Sailors" areRapid București andDinamo București. Farul also has some local rivalries against teams from nearby cities, such asCS Năvodari,Săgeata Năvodari orDelta Tulcea. However, these are of low intensity.

Honours

[edit]

Notes:

  • After the merger withViitorul Constanța in June 2021, controlling shareholderGheorghe Hagi stated that the new Farul Constanța would also retain the honours of Viitorul, which includes three domestic trophies.[32] However, the Romanian footballgoverning bodies have yet to pronounce on the subject and Viitorul is either considered a separate defunct entity[33] or the predecessor of the new FCV Farul.
