Category: Sparta | A Youth Challenge in Romania

It’s been a long ambition of mine to do something special in the far East of European football. Perhaps it’s a matter of roots, after all, as being from Moldova I can identify with both the Slavic and the Latin cultures of Eastern Europe, and let’s be fair, football hasn’t been particularly great over there in the last decade or so. We used to have clubs like Steaua Bucharest, Levski Sofia, Wisla Krakow and Dinamo Kiev push for glory at least in the Uefa Cup, however in recent times, corruption and poor financial management have brought eastern european football to new lows.

I’ve decided to take matters in my own hands and hopefully bring some of that lost glory back:

I created a club from scratch in the second tier of Romanian Football, with a specific identity and philosophy based on youth, discipline and athleticism. The challenge would be to take the club, as well as Romanian Football to new heights by only relying on signings from our own academy. So yes, a Spartan Youth Challenge 🙂
