Unirea Constanța

Asociația Fotbal Club Unirea Constanța (Romanian pronunciation: [uˈnire̯a konˈstantsa]), commonly known as Unirea Constanța, is a Romanian football club based in Techirghiol, Constanța County, currently playing in the Liga II.

Unirea was founded in the summer of 2021 by taking over Farul Constanța's berth in the second league; the move was approved after Farul left the spot open as a result of its merger with Liga I side Viitorul Constanța.

History

Unirea Constanța was established in the summer of 2021 on the ashes of the former Farul Constanța entity, its berth in the league championship remaining unused after the merger between Farul and Viitorul Constanța. Unirea Constanța unveiled itself as "the team of the South Coast", with local businessman Altay Nuredin being the man who ensures the financing.

Unirea built its squad around former Farul players that did not enter the Liga I project, and started to play its matches in Techirghiol. It seems that the club's plan for the 2022 summer is to rename itself Marina Mangalia and subsequently move to Mangalia for its home matches, in order to be considered a successor club of Callatis Mangalia.
