About Farul Constanța

FCV Farul Constanța (Romanian pronunciation: ), commonly known as Farul Constanța or simply as Farul, is a Romanian professional football club based in the city of Constanța, Constanța County, that competes in the Liga I. Farul translates as "the Lighthouse" in Romanian, alluding to the fact that the city is situated on the Black Sea coast.

Established in 1920 as SPM Constanța, the team had spent over 40 seasons in the first league before merging with Viitorul Constanța in 2021. The highest position it achieved prior to the merger was fourth place on three occasions, and it also played a Cupa României final in 2005. Farul won its first Liga I title at the end of the 2022–23 season, or the second overall if Viitorul's record is considered.

Farul Constanța is known for its academy, which was inherited from Gheorghe Hagi, the joint top goalscorer of the Romania national team. Hagi is also the controlling shareholder of the company and coaches the senior team.

The club traditionally played its matches at Farul Stadium, but now uses the smaller Viitorul Stadium in Ovidiu until a new home ground will be built.
