FC Sfîntul Gheorghe was a Moldovan professional football club based in Suruceni that existed between 2003 and 2023.
History
FC Sfîntul Gheorghe was founded in 2003. Until 2007, it was represented by seven youth teams, aged 10–18 years. In 2007, the Under-18 team became the champion of The Republic of Moldova. In 2008–09, the club decided to enter the second tier of Moldovan football, the Divizia A.
In 2009, due to an excellent infrastructure of two stadiums, one with artificial turf and another with natural turf, the club met all the licensing criteria and obtained the "A" licence, which allowed the team to play in the Divizia Națională.
In July 2023, the club ceased to exist amid a scandal involving match-fixing and the arrest of several players. The financial problems arising from the same scandal also played a decisive role in the termination of the club's existence.
Known for their strong defensive play and disciplined tactics, Sfintul Gheorghe has earned a reputation as a tough team to beat. Their players are known for their hard work ethic and determination on the field, making them a formidable opponent for any team they face.
The team's home matches are played at the Stadionul Sfântul Gheorghe in the town of Suruceni, where they have a loyal fan base that cheers them on with passion and enthusiasm.
Sfintul Gheorghe continues to strive for success in Moldovan football, aiming to compete at the highest level and bring glory to their club and country. With a strong foundation and dedicated players, the team looks set to achieve great things in the future.
