Asociația Fotbal Club Astra Giurgiu (Romanian pronunciation:[ˈastraˈdʒjurdʒju]), commonly known asAstra Giurgiu or simplyAstra, was a Romanianfootballclub last based in the city ofGiurgiu,Giurgiu County. Founded in 1921 inPloiești asClubul Sportiv Astra-Română,[1] it spent most of its history in thelower leagues.
Astra Ploiești only began to achieve success in the late 1990s under the ownership of businessmanIoan Niculae, having reached thetop flight for the first time in the1998–99 season. In 2012, after more than nine decades inPrahova County, it moved its home ground south to Giurgiu, a city at the border with Bulgaria.[3] On short notice, Astra became a prominent figure inRomanian football and head coachMarius Șumudică won it the2015–16 national title.[4]
The club also held oneCupa României and twoSupercupa României trophies. Between2017 and2021, Astra lost three Cupa României finals, all played on thehome ground of itsformer local opponent,Petrolul Ploiești. Internationally, its best performance was reaching theUEFA Europa League round of 32 in the2016–17 season. After losing the financial support of its owner Niculae, in October 2022 the team withdrew from theLiga III championship and was subsequently dissolved.
The colours of the team were white and black, hence the old nicknameDracii negri (The Black Devils). Red was also worn on many occasions on the awaykits. Their last home stadium wasMarin Anastasovici, which has a capacity of 8,500, but spent most of their history at the namesakeAstra Stadium in Ploiești.

On 18 September 1921, the weekly newspaperEcoul Sportiv announced the founding of theClubul Sportiv Astra-Română ("Astra-Romanian Sports Club") by the Astra-Română Society, an oil-company owned byHenri Deterding and based inPrahova and composed of English, American and Dutch officials.[1][5]
Initially, the club consisted of several football sides based in towns from the entire county. In the summer of 1934, the refinery organised the inaugural edition of a tournament open for all the Astra teams, called theAstra Societies Cup. The matches were played in the town ofMoreni. At the time, the refinery had only one team, Astra RomânăCâmpina, that was playing in the district championship. To make the cup more attractive, the society created three new football sides for the event: Astra Română Moreni, Astra RomânăBoldești and Astra Română Unirea Hârsa. After the 1937 edition of the Cup, the society decided to merge all of its Prahova teams and thus createdAstra Română Ploiești on 29 May 1937. The team was registered in the district championship. Just a few months after the team's foundation, the society changed its name toColumbia and moved it to a ground located near the society's headquarters, inCâmpina. In May 1945,Astra Română Ploiești was reformed and played its home matches on the oldColumbia Stadium, a stadium that still exists today in Ploiești and was used as a training ground by the team.
In the summer of 1992,Astra were promoted for the first time to theDivizia C. The following seasons it finished 6th, 12th, 3rd and 14th in the championship.
In the summer of 1996, the club merged withDanubiana București, it changed its name toDanubiana Ploiești, and played for the first time in theDivizia B. After one season the club changed its name back toAstra. Since that year,Ioan Niculae had been the owner of the team. In 1998, Astra were promoted to theDivizia A for the first time. They played at this level for five consecutive seasons, until 2003, when it merged withPetrolul Ploiești.[6] Two years of pause pass for Astra, until 2005, when Ioan Niculae founded once again the club directly in theLiga II. It was relegated to theLiga III after only one season. In the summer of 2007, under the name ofFC Ploiești, the team promoted back to the Liga II. In 2009, after six years, it finally promoted back toLiga I, with promotion achieved at the end of the2008–09 season. It changed its name back to the traditionalAstra Ploiești and the black and white colours were brought back, hence the team's old nickname, "The Black Devils".[7]
After 91 years inPloiești, in September 2012, the club moved toGiurgiu.[3] The last match played in theAstra Stadium was on 2 September 2012, against Bucharest giantsDinamo București, won by Astra 1–0. The first game played on theMarin Anastasovici Stadium was on 23 September 2012, againstGaz Metan Mediaș. Astra won 4–0.
It qualified for the first time to theUEFA Europa League at the end of the2012–13 Liga I season, after finishing 4th in the table.
The 2013–14 season was the most successful season in the club's history, reaching 2nd place inLiga I, losing the title by only five points toSteaua București and winning theRomanian Cup on penalties against the same team,Steaua. One month later they defeatedSteaua București on penalties again, and won theRomanian Supercup.
Astra Giurgiu played its first European match ever in first qualification round ofUEFA Europa League againstDomžale, winning 1–0 in the first leg. In the second leg in Bucharest, Astra won 2–0 and qualified. In the second qualification round, Astra draw 1–1 withOmonia in the first leg in Bucharest and beat 2–1[8] in the second leg in Nicosia to advance.[9] Seeded team after eliminating Omonia, Astra was drawn in third qualification round withTrenčín and qualified after winning 3–1 the first leg inDubnica nad Váhom and drawing 2–2 in the second leg in Bucharest. In play-off, Astra faced the very first European defeat in a 0–2 againstMaccabi Haifa in the first leg inHaifa, thus being eliminated after drawing 1–1 in the second leg in Bucharest.[10]
Astra qualified directly in the third qualifying round after winning theRomanian Cup and metSlovan Liberec, winning both legs 3–0 in Giurgiu and 3–2 in Liberec, this time being the first European match to take place in Giurgiu. In the play-off round, Astra metOlympique Lyonnais, defeating them away inLyon in a 2–1 win, withKehinde Fatai andConstantin Budescu scoring the goals of victory.[11] In Giurgiu, Lyon won 1–0 but Astra Giurgiu went on to the group stage phase due to the away goals rule. They were subsequently drawn in Group D alongsideRed Bull Salzburg,Celtic andDinamo Zagreb.[12] Astra began their group stage adventure with a harmful 1–5 defeat atStadion Maksimir inZagreb against Croatian champions Dinamo, ending withAurelian Chițu scoring their first goal in the group stages of a European cup. On 2 October 2014, Astra played Red Bull Salzburg one of the most important matches held onMarin Anastasovici Stadium in Giurgiu. Astra took the 1–0 lead withTakayuki Seto's goal, but were stunned byJonatan Soriano's winner, losing 1–2. On matchday 3, Astra faced Celtic atGlasgow in a match which ended 1–2. On matchday 4, Astra hold Celtic in a 1–1 draw at Giurgiu, withWilliam Amorim scoring the equaliser that brought their first group stage point. On matchday 5, Astra won 1–0 against Dinamo Zagreb withSadat Bukari's winner, and secured its first ever victory in the Europa League group stages.[13] Astra's Europa League campaign concluded atRed Bull Arena in Salzburg with another heavy 1–5 defeat to Red Bull. Astra ended in fourth place with four points, behind Salzburg (16 points), Celtic (8) and Dinamo (6).
On 28 April 2015,Marius Șumudică was appointed as the new head coach, followingDorinel Munteanu's resignation.[14] It would be Sumudica's third term at the club, following two short spells in 2009 and 2011. His first game in charge was a 2–1 away victory against rivals Petrolul Ploiești. He eventually led the team to a fourth-place finish, assuring qualification for the2015–16-second round of the UEFA Europa League.
In the second round of the Europa League, Astra were paired withInverness Caledonian Thistle, which resulted in a 1–0 Astra win on aggregate after a goal fromConstantin Budescu.[15] The third round proved to be extremely difficult, however, as Astra was drawn with English clubWest Ham United. A surprising 2–2 draw at London, followed by a 2–1 victory in Giurgiu,[16][17] qualified Astra for the play-off round, where they faced Dutch clubAZ. A 3–2 home victory for Giurgiu was not enough to see Astra qualified to the group stage as AZ won the reverse match inAlkmaar 2–0, thus ending the club's European campaign.[18]
In the domestic league, Astra managed to impress. Despite having a poor start which included a severe 1–5 defeat from vice-champions ASA Targu Mures, theAstralii managed to finish the regular seasons champions. During this time, however, manager Marius Șumudică was convicted of betting on domestic matches,[19] prompting his suspension by Romanian FA for the remainder of the season. On appeal, Șumudică managed to reduce his suspension to two months, and also begin to apply at the start of the2016–17 Liga I.[20] On 1 May 2016, after a draw between FC Steaua and Pandurii Tg. Jiu, Astra Giurgiu won the2015–16 Liga I.[4] This was Șumudică's first domestic title, and also made Giurgiu the 13th Romanian city to have won a national title, after Bucharest,Timișoara, Ploiești,Arad,Craiova,Cluj-Napoca,Pitești,Oradea,Brașov,Reșița,Urziceni andGalați. Astra also later won the 2016 Supercup against CFR Cluj.[21]
Astra qualified for theUEFA Champions League, but were quickly eliminated by Danish sideCopenhagen.[22] Astra reached the play-off round of the2016–17 UEFA Europa League and faced West Ham, which they also met – and defeated – one year prior. The club defeated West Ham 0–1[23] in London and reached the group stage of the Europa League, where they were drawn in Group E alongsideRoma,Viktoria Plzeň andAustria Wien.[24] Despite having zero points after two rounds, Astra Giurgiu managed to defeat Viktoria Plzeň and Austria Wien in away matches; this, in addition to a 0–0 draw with Roma and Austria Wien's failure against Plzeň secured Astra's place in the tournament's round of 32, where they facedGenk. A 2–2 draw at Giurgiu followed by a defeat, 0–1 in Belgium ended Astra Giurgiu's best European campaign in history.[25]
In the league, Astra had a very disappointing campaign, struggling for the majority of the regular season in the second half of the table. However, a fantastic streak of 8 consecutive wins[26] allowed the Giurgiu club to finish 3rd in the regular season, and to qualify for the play-offs of 2016–17 Liga 1. The good form didn't last however, as they managed to gather just 5 points in the play-offs and eventually finished 6th. On 27 May, Astra lost the Romanian Cup Final against FC Voluntari after a penalty shootout,[27] however because FC Voluntari didn't apply early enough for a European License to participate in the 2017–18 Europa League, the vacant spot was given to Astra, thus qualifying yet again in Europe.
In the summer of 2017, head coach Șumudică left Astra Giurgiu after his contract expired and was replaced byEdward Iordănescu, and also the first-team squad was almost entirely changed.[28][29] The team budget was strictly decreased, and Astra's new squad was the second youngest in the league. In the first match of the season, Astra won 3–1 against Azerbaijani teamZira FK with more than half of the team being debutants. After a 0–0 draw in Baku, they qualified for the Europa League 3rd qualifying round. They faced Ukrainian clubFC Oleksandriya, and after an uneventful 0–0 draw at Giurgiu, Astra were beaten 1–0 in Ukraine in the last match ever played in an international competition. Despite a solid campaign, after a surprise elimination from the quarter-finals of the Romanian Cup and public criticism from the owner for the boring style of play, Edi Iordanescu resigned from the job with 8 games left.
Although the team started the 2018–19 season very well with a surprising 1–0 win over the vice-champions FCSB. A few days later, owner Ioan Niculae announced that Astra Giurgiu managed to buy back their former star attacker, Denis Alibec, for 1 million euros, from FCSB, where he was excluded from the team after a fallout. After many financial problems, the players protested in the media, openly criticizing the owner Ioan Niculae for not paying their wages, and boycotted training. Right-backClaudiu Belu even had his contract terminated after he complained about the money issue in a post-match conference. Many first-team starters filed a memorandum. The last few months of the season were nightmarish, losing eight out of ten games in the play-off, managing to beat only Sepsi OSK. Astra Giurgiu had a very easy road to the final of the Romanian Cup, playing only second division teams or teams who were not interested in the competition, using their B-side. After breezing pastCS Luceafărul Oradea,FC Universitatea Cluj,FC Dunărea Călărași, and CFR Cluj, Astra facedFC Viitorul Constanța in the final. Alibec opened the score from a free-kick right before half-time against the run of play. Viitorul dominated the game, and Astra was forced to defend with all its resources and hoped to clinch the victory. However, in the 72nd minute, a series of unfortunate events started. Alibec was injured and substituted. Five minutes later, Viitorul equalized from a corner, and another five minutes later, Romário Pires was sent off for a second yellow. In extra time, Astra changed the system to five defenders but still conceded a goal and lost their second final in the last three years, losing the chance to play in the Europa League next season.
In the summer of 2019,Dan Alexa was named as the new coach. The biggest transfer was the surprising return of former star playmaker Constantin Budescu, reforming the unstoppable duo Alibec-Budescu. Throughout the season, a lot of former players returned to the club. Former title winnersGabriel Enache,Alexandru Dandea,Alexandru Ioniță and club legendTakayuki Seto returned to the team alongside former goal-scorer Kehinde Fatai. Despite the quality of his squad, Alexa had a short and awful stint as Astra Giurgiu manager. With one of the best squads in the league he managed only four wins, four draws and four losses. The naming of Dan Alexa in charge of the club was a big failure.
Bogdan Andone, Sumudica's former assistant from the 2016 title winning squad, was put in charge of the team in October 2019. Impressively, he won his first ten league games in charge, grinding many 1–0 wins. Before the winter break, the team even got in the first place of the league for the first time in the last four years and had aspirations for a new title. Unfortunately, the ever present money problems took a toll on the team. Astra was even docked three points, and failed to win any of their last four games of the regular season, barely qualifying for the play-offs, after a lucky draw against Sepsi OSK in which they scored 2 goals in only one minute. Qualified in the play-off for the 5th season in a row (a record held only by them and FCSB) the team regained its form. But, during the COVID-19 quarantine, disappointment struck again, because, for financial reasons, Astra Giurgiu failed to gain the European license, meaning that they couldn't play in the Europa League next season. Even though Astra had nothing left to play for, the team easily finished on the podium of Liga 1. Although the team was heavily held back by its money problems and had potential to achieve even more, Astra had a great campaign, finishing in third place and losing only one game at home all season.
As a result of the club's worsening financial difficulties, Astra's focus shifted from progressing to European competitions to simply remaining in the top league for the new season. The pandemic worsened Astra's already poor financial situation, leading to them falling behind on player wages. The club was also at risk of relegation due to doping charges, with three of their key players, Ioniță, Seto, and Fatai, being investigated for using illegal methods of vitaminization. As a consequence, the three players were suspended.
Furthermore, in February 2021, the club owner, Ioan Niculae, was sentenced to five years in prison for money laundering. At the end of the2020–21 Liga I season, Astra Giurgiu was left without its best players and was struggling due to financial pressures. They subsequently performed poorly in the play-out, leading to their relegation to the second division of Romanian football after 12 years. Despite reaching the2021 Cupa României final, they lost 3–2 to Universitatea Craiova in extra time.
Astra Giurgiu submitted a request to withdraw from Liga III on 18 October 2022, the club folding after 101 years of existence.[30]
The teams last crest was adopted in July 2009, following the team's promotion fromLiga II. The design was based on a classical template, and was characterized by the same black and white stripes which could be found on the team's shirts. The numerous stars which adorn the crest have their origin in the club's name, withAstra (likeSteaua) being aRomanian word which translates as "The Star".
Astra Giurgiu's primary colors were white and black, although the kit design also included red on many occasions, especially on away outfits.
Astra played its home matches in Giurgiu at theMarin Anastasovici Stadium, which had a current capacity of approximately 8,500 spectators.[2] With the club having moved here since September 2012, the formerAstra Stadium in Ploiești now acts as a training ground.
After Astra's first promotion to the Divizia A in the summer of 1998, its fans engaged in a grudge with their cross-town rivalsPetrolul Ploiești. Often, the matches between Astra and Petrolul ended with clashes between the supporters. Most Astra fans considered Petrolul as their main rivals, howeverLupii galbeni regardRapid București as their principal arch-enemies. The rivalry was kept despite Astra's move to Giurgiu,[31] and the match was sometimes referred to asFostul derbi al Ploieștiului (Former Ploiești derby).
