SC Tiligul-Tiras Tiraspol was aMoldovanfootball club based inTiraspol. They played in theDivizia Națională, the top division in Moldovan football. Their home stadium wasStadionul Municipal.
Currently the club's football academy is associated with another Moldovan clubFC Zaria Bălți and competes in football competitions as its reserve team in lower Moldovan leagues. During theSoviet period, the club often competed along with clubs from the neighboringUkrainian SSR.
The team from Tiraspol first appeared in Ukrainian republican competitions in 1938 playing as Pischevik in the tier 2 and placing last place. Tiraspol was part of the Ukrainian SSR within theMoldavian ASSR.
Tiligul Tiraspol was the original and oldest football team inTiraspol, the capital ofTransnistria. It was traditionally the city's only team, but in 2002 the team formerly known asConstructorul Chișinău moved to Tiraspol and changed its name toFC Tiraspol, and the same yearFC Sheriff was founded as well, thus bringing the number of home teams to three. If theUSSR had not dissolved, they would have played in theUSSR Top League in 1992, because they were runners-up of theUSSR First League in 1991. Since the establishment of the National championship, the club along withZimbru Chișinău were main contenders for the top titles. With establishing of Sheriff Tiraspol, Tiligul has faded away and eventually ceased its operations in 2009. Sheriff became the best club not only in the city but across the wholeRepublic of Moldova.
Among its most famous former players isSerghei Covalciuc, who was discovered in 1999 and was hired to play forSpartak Moscow.
Tiligul took part in European club competitions five times but never won a match in either Cup Winner's Cup or UEFA Cup qualifying which makes them one of the rare teams to have played at least 10 matches in European club competitions (Intertoto Cup excluded) without scoring any victories (though the record for being the least successful team in European club competitions is believed to be Etzella Ettelbruck (Luxembourg) because Etzella lost all their twelve games in UEFA Cup qualifying rounds between 2001 and 2007).
Tiligul's colors were crimson shirts and shorts at home and either white shirts and shorts or violet shirts and shorts on the road.
Tiligul-Tiras had to cease operations after they were not able to provide the necessary funds to keep the club alive.[3]
Later the club found agreement with another Moldavian clubFC Olimpia, yielding its club's infrastructure for adaptation of the Olimpia's farm team Olimpia-2 as Olimpia-2 Tiligul.
