About Farul Constanta
Farul Constanta are one of Romania's most historically significant clubs, representing the Black Sea port city of Constanta with white and blue pride across more than a century of football. The club's name, Farul (The Lighthouse), is as evocative as any in Romanian football, and the modern era has been lit up by the involvement of Gheorghe Hagi, who merged his FC Viitorul project with Farul in 2021 to create a new powerhouse. Under Hagi's management, the club won the Liga I title in 2022-23, the first championship for Constanta in decades and a moment of enormous significance for Romanian football.
Farul Constanta's modern entity was formed in 2021 from the merger of FCV Farul and Gheorghe Hagi's FC Viitorul Constanta. They play at Viitorul Stadium in Ovidiu. They compete in Liga I and won the Romanian championship in 2022-23. Their colours are white and blue. Gheorghe Hagi serves as the club's manager and controlling shareholder.
White and blue have been the colours associated with Constanta football for decades, and the Farul name carries deep meaning in Romania's football culture. The 2022-23 Liga I title-winning kit, worn as Hagi guided his club to the championship, is the most treasured piece of modern Farul history. For fans of Romanian football, any shirt from the current Hagi era represents an extraordinary full-circle story: from Constanta to the peaks of world football, and back home to manage the club that carries his city's name.
