Suporter Spirit Club Farul Constanța (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈfarul konˈstant͡sa]), commonly known as Farul Constanța, or simply as Farul, is a Romanian professional football club based in the city of Constanța, Constanța County. Established in 1949, it is currently playing in the Liga III.[1]
Farul is a Romanian word which translates as "the Lighthouse". In the summer of 2016, the team was declared bankrupt and excluded from the Liga III, after it had withdrew from Liga II earlier that summer. In an attempt to save Farul, supporters refounded the club and enrolled it in the fourth division.[2][3]
Farul Constanța are also a well-known rugby union team.
History
In 1949, the two football clubs of Constanța, Dezrobirea Constanța and PCA Constanța (Porturi Comunicații Ape), were merged to create a new team, Locomotiva PCA Constanța, that played in the Divizia B (the 2nd League). After the 1954 edition, the team promoted for the first time to the 1st League (Divizia A), and in 1958, the team's name was changed from Locomotiva to Farul Constanța.
Notably, the 2004–05 Divizia A season brought for Farul some outstanding performances that enabled it to finish the season on the 5th place and reach to its first ever Romanian Cup final match, which they lost 0–1 to FC Dinamo București.
Its best achievements are reaching the fourth place in Liga I and the final of the Balkans Cup, and also winning Liga II five times along the history.
