context_page_description: Fotbal Club Farul Constanța 1920, commonly known as Farul Constanța, or simply as Farul is a Romanian professional football club based in the city of Constanța, Constanța County. Established in 1920, it currently plays in the Liga II.
  Farul is a Romanian word which translates as "the Lighthouse". The team has spent 42 seasons in the Liga I, the highest position achieved being the fourth place on three occasions, and it has also played one Romanian Cup final in 2005 which they lost 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.
context_section_description: The club plays its home matches on Stadionul Farul from Constanța. Originally known as Stadionul 1 Mai, the stadium was opened in 1955 and had the shape of the letter "U", but subsequently it was expanded with another stand, finally reaching the capacity of 15,520 seats. After the bankruptcy of the club in 2016, the new entity has encountered administrative problems that have prevented the team from playing on the stadium for more than a year and a half. SSC Farul played from 2016 until 14 April 2018 on Stadionul Sparta, from Techirghiol, with a capacity of 1,000 people. Stadionul Farul reached an advanced condition of degradation due to lack of activity, and had to be cleaned and restored as functional by Farul supporters through several volunteer campaigns.
  In 1970, Stadionul Farul became the first stadium in Romania to have floodlights installed.
