Английская Википедия:FC Hermannstadt

Asociația Fotbal Club Hermannstadt (Шаблон:IPA-de), commonly known as FC Hermannstadt, Hermannstadt, or familiarly as Sibiu (Шаблон:IPA-ro), is a Romanian professional football club based in the city of Sibiu (Шаблон:Lang-de), Sibiu County, that competes in the Liga I.

The team was established in 2015 and introduced in the fourth division, with Hermannstadt being the equivalent of the city's name in the standard German language (i.e. Hochdeutsch). Roș-negrii achieved successive promotions and in 2018 reached the Liga I, the highest level of the Romanian football league system.

During the same year, Hermannstadt also played a Cupa României final, which they lost 0–2 to Universitatea Craiova.

History

Hermannstadt's badges throughout time

AFC Hermannstadt was founded in 2015 to continue the long tradition of football in the city of Sibiu, started in 1913 by Șoimii Sibiu and continued through other teams such as Societatea Gimnastică Sibiu (Шаблон:Lang-de), Inter Sibiu, FC Sibiu, or Voința Sibiu. Even if Hermannstadt is not a "legal" successor to any of these clubs, we can consider it a moral one, as it is currently the only representative of Sibiu in the first three leagues. Hermannstadt is the equivalent of the city's name in the German language, which has sometimes stirred controversy.^[1]

Immediately after the 2015 founding, the club was enrolled in the Liga IV. It finished first in the league table and subsequently qualified for the Liga III promotion play-offs.^[2] Hermannstadt won the phase without major difficulties, after 6–1 on aggregate against the champion of Gorj County, Gilortul Târgu Cărbunești.^[3] Sibienii were also winners of the Liga III – Seria V in the next season and promoted to the Liga II, the second level of the Romanian league system.^[4]

Hermannstadt played its first Liga II match on 5 August 2017, a 3–0 home victory over CS Balotești.^[5] It finished the campaign as runner-up, and thus achieved promotion to the Liga I after only three years of existence.^[6] The club also managed a notable performance in the Cupa României, being the first in 36 years to reach the final despite not playing in the top flight.^[7] Hermannstadt upset four Liga I teams en route to the last game of the competition—Voluntari, Juventus București, FCSB and county rival Gaz Metan Mediaș, respectively. It lost the final 0–2 to Universitatea Craiova, on 27 May 2018.^[8]

On 21 July 2018, Hermannstadt won its first ever Liga I match after Ștefan Blănaru scored the only goal of the opening fixture against Sepsi OSK.^[9]

Ground

Hermannstadt's home ground, Stadionul Municipal, was built in 1927 and previously used by several other teams from the city. Its demolition started in 2018 to make room for a modern stadium, with Hermannstadt having since played matches at the Stadionul Gaz Metan in Mediaș.^[10]

Support

In its beginnings, Hermannstadt enjoyed the interest of about 4,000 fans. The team also has an ultras group, named D'acii, which appeared for the first time at a match against ASU Politehnica Timișoara in September 2017.^[11] Their name is a pun on the words dacii ("the Dacians") and d-aci, a contraction of de aici (meaning "from here").

Rivalries

Hermannstadt had a local rivalry with Gaz Metan Mediaș, referred to as the "Derby of Sibiu County".
