Farul Constanța

FCV Farul Constanța (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈfarul konˈstantsa]), commonly known as Farul Constanța, or simply as Farul, is a Romanian professional football club based in the city of Constanța, Constanța County, which currently plays in the Liga I. Farul is a Romanian word which translates as "the Lighthouse", alluding the fact that Constanța is the largest port on the Black Sea coast.

Established in 1920 as SPM Constanța, the team has spent over 40 seasons in the first league, the highest position it achieved being fourth place on three occasions. It also played one Cupa Romaniei final in 2005, which it lost 0–1 to Dinamo București. Farul has produced several talented players, the most notable of them being Gheorghe Hagi, the joint top goalscorer of the Romania national team; he currently holds shares in the company and is also in charge of the senior team.

"The White and Blues" play their home games on the Viitorul Stadium in Ovidiu, since their traditional Farul Stadium is in an advanced state of degradation.
