Short History of Onesti Soccer Soccer is a very popular sport in Romania, much loved by young and old alike. Romania is a "fotbal" country as fotbal (soccer) is considered a national sport. It is embraced by boys and girls at a very early age. It is played on the streets by children long before they play it in an organized fashion. It's played with a passion everywhere. These young people are the future of Romanian soccer; the players that one day will emerge into the international arena. The sport is organized for children as early as kindergarten, and continues at all school levels. Club soccer is of superior quality and the source of selections for the first division professional teams and the national soccer team. Onesti professional soccer was virtually born in 1956, when the two local teams, C.S.M. Borzesti and Termo Onesti took part in the county division B championship. In 1995 Termo Onesti became part of the Division A, and finished 7th in the championship. In 1996 the A division team qualified in the 1st series. F.C. Onesti enjoys one of the best soccer grass fields in the country. You will have the opportunity to watch Div. I matches and also to play on this field. Short History of R. F. C. Anderlecht
Honor list:
Club history: The club was founded on 27 May 1908 with the intention to stimulate the soccer-activities in Anderlecht. The club was named Sporting Club Anderlecht, but because of the 25th anniversary the word Royal was added. Thus Royal Sporting Club Anderlecht, or shortly RSCA. The club played its first games on a field that could hardly be called a football ground. The name of the field was "Scheut". Yet the Mauves won their first practice-matches and therefore they decided to enter the club in the league. Anderlecht started in the third regional division. RSCA performed already well in the first year and in 1912 Anderlecht promoted, with Theo Verbeeck on the team, to the national divisions. Through the successes the club moved in 1917 to the Meirpark, now known as the Astridpark. On 16 April 1921 Anderlecht pushed through for the first time to the highest division! There were still some degradations, but after the season 1934-1935 the club stayed for good in the first division. And also there the successes didn't stay away long. In 1947 Anderlecht played for the first time champion. This was the first of the 25 titles that Anderlecht would obtain. Also the European successes didn't stay away. Anderlecht won, under the leadership of Pierre Sinibaldi, Anderlecht won 5 titles in a row. In the seventies, the Europa Cup II was won twice. In 1976 it beated West Ham in the finals and in 1978 it won against Austria Wien. In 1977 and 1990 the mauve and whites also lost two finals. Anderlecht won for the first time the UEFA cup against Benfica in 1983. In 1976 and 1978 RSCA won the European Supercup against Bayern München and Liverpool. Also in the year 2000 Anderlecht performed well. They caught their 25th title, they won the Belgian Supercup and obtained a qualification for the Champions League... And in 2001, they obtained a new Belgian title and the Supercup! So the successes are far from over for R.S.C. Anderlecht!
