CFR CLUJ

Since 1973, CFR Cluj have played at the Dr Constantin Radulescu Stadium, which originally had a capacity of around 10,000.

STADIUM

It was opened with a game between Cluj and the Cuban national team. It was only after Cluj began qualifying for European football that work began to expand the stadium, with the capacity increased to 23,500. As Cluj celebrated their centenary in 2007, they marked the renovation work with a pre-season friendly in July against Benfica, a match that finished 2-2. The following year, in September 2008, the Romanian national side played their first game at the stadium, a World Cup qualifier against Lithuania, which the visitors won 3-0.

HONOURS CFR

Cluj’s trophy successes have all come in the past 11 years, with five league titles, four Romanian Cups and two Romanian Super Cups to their name. Season 2007/08 was a momentous one for the club as they won the league for the first time in their history while, for good measure, they completed the double with victory over Unirea Urziceni in the final. It was the first of three consecutive cup triumphs for the club. In terms of league success, Cluj will be hoping to make it three-in-a-row this season, having won the title for the past two seasons. In 2018, they pipped FCSB to the title by a point following the championship round, where the top six teams in the league play each other twice. Last season, the gap between the same two sides was two points, with Cluj still coming out on top.
