Săgeata Năvodari is a Romanian professional football club from Năvodari, Constanţa County, Romania. They currently play in the Liga I.
History
The team Săgeata was founded in 1960, and played at Stejaru, in the Tulcea County until 2010.[1] In the 2007-08 season, Săgeata promoted for the first time in its history in Liga III. The team was sent to the fifth group and finished its first season on the fifth spot, 13 points behind the winner, Steaua II București. But in the summer of 2009, Săgeata was united with CS Buftea, a team that played in the Liga II, and the newly formed club took the place of the latter team, in the second division of the Romanian football.
At the end of July 2010 the owners of AS Săgeata Stejaru found and agreement with the city of Năvodari and moved the team at the Black Sea, renaming the club AFC Săgeata Năvodari,[1] thus continuing the football tradition in Năvodari after the dissolution of CS Năvodari, former Midia Năvodari.
Săgeata finished 2nd in the series the first half of the 2010–11 Liga II season, and was in the battle for the promotion with Ceahlăul Piatra Neamţ and Concordia Chiajna. By the end of the season Săgeata targeted the first two places but failed to reach them and finished the championship 3rd. But all was not lost, because FRF decided that a play-off round will be played between Voinţa Sibiu and Săgeata Năvodari for the last vacant place in the 2011–12 Liga I.[2]
Săgeata lost the play-off round against Voinţa Sibiu with aggregate score of 0-2.
Săgeata started fairly well the 2011–12 Liga II, ranking 3rd in the table after 11 rounds, just 4 points behind 2nd placed FC Delta Tulcea. The battle for promotion was fierce, with FC Viitorul Constanţa and FC Delta Tulcea as opponets. In the end CSMS Iaşi won the series, Săgeata ranking 4th, 12 points behind 2nd placed FC Viitorul Constanţa.
The objective for the 2012–13 season is once again the promotion to the Liga I, this time the main opponents being CS Otopeni, Sportul Studențesc București and Delta Tulcea.
