Steaua Bucuresti

Steaua Bucuresti are Romanian football's most celebrated club and the greatest team in the nation's football history, a Bucharest institution that became the first Eastern European club to win the European Cup when they beat Barcelona on penalties in 1986 in Seville. Founded in 1947, the red and blue of Steaua are synonymous with Romanian footballing glory, and their squad of the late 1980s, featuring players including Gheorghe Hagi, Marius Lacatus, and Helmuth Duckadam, was one of European football's most feared. Multiple Romanian Liga 1 champions and a European force, Steaua remains Romania's most iconic club. Founded in 1947, FCSB (Steaua Bucuresti) are based in Bucharest, Romania, and compete in the Romanian Liga 1. They play their home matches at Arena Nationala. The club are nicknamed Ros-Albastrii (Red-Blues). Major honours include the European Cup in 1986, multiple Romanian Liga 1 titles, and the UEFA Super Cup in 1986. Their home colours are red and blue. The red and blue home kit of Steaua Bucuresti carries the weight of Romanian football history and European glory. The strip worn in the 1986 European Cup final, when Helmuth Duckadam saved four Barcelona penalties in Seville, is one of the most famous shirts in the history of the game. Kits from the late 1980s, when the club reached back-to-back European Cup finals, are the most iconic in Steaua's rich shirt history. More recent kits have reflected the club's Liga 1 dominance, with manufacturers including Joma and Nike producing various versions of the red and blue. That European Cup-winning shirt remains the defining image of Romanian football.
