History of the FC Sfintul Gheorghe Fooball Club

FC Sfintul Gheorghe was fiunded on July 11, 2003

Club's motto

Enjoy playing football, enjoy every day. Don't be afraid of tomorrow, don't be afraid of anything. Advance with Sfintul Gheorghe!

Why "Sfintul Gheorghe"? 

"Sfintul Gheorghe" (Saint George) is the collective symbol of a rather broad geographical zone concentrated around one of the oldest Moldovan monasteries, "Sfintul Gheorghe" from Suruceni.  The zone covers Chisinau and two districts adjacent to the capital, Straseni and Ialoveni. Given that children attending our club's activities are selected mainly from settlements from this zone, the club's founders chose "Sfintul Gheorghe" as name that unites all the members of our football community.

Origin

The foundation of the Football Club "Sfintul Gheorghe" was laid in 1999, when FC "Victoras" was set up. The team played in the championship of Chisinau County and subsequently in Moldova's Championship B Division. Until 1999, the Suruceni team was named "Tineretea" (Youth) and actively participated in the republican tournament Moldovan youth Cup. Years ago, the goalkeeper of the Tineretea team was a well-known Moldovan light music singer, Ion Suruceanu, who is a remarkable backer and rooter of the SGS. 

First match - 2003

The first SGS match took place in October 2003 during a tournament between children of the neighbouring villages of Suruceni, Nimoreni and Danceni.

First success - 2004

One of the first achievements of the SGS was the victory at the open championship of the Chisinau-based Republican Specialized Football Club. The SGS was represented by the team of children aged 10-11. Participating in the tournament held on 27.03.2004 - 08.05.2004 were teams of children from Chisinau schools, lyceums and football clubs.
