Farul

Farul, meaning "the lighthouse" in Romanian, is used primarily as a generic term for coastal navigational beacons but also as a proper name in several contexts. In Romanian football, Farul Constanța is a prominent club based in Constanța. The club's current identity emerged from a 2021 merger between FC Viitorul Constanța, founded by Gheorghe Hagi in 2009 as an elite academy club, and the historic Farul Constanța. Since the merger, the team has competed in Liga I, Romania's top football division, and has been associated with the Hagi Football Academy network. The club plays its home matches in Constanța and has become one of the notable teams in the domestic league, attracting players through its development system.
