The fight to Steaua Bucharest - an Eastern European giant fighting itself

 Eastern European bigwigs Steaua Bucharest are caught in a conflict which shows no sign of slowing down. The tensions are increasing.

Steaua was European Cup winners in 1986. It was founded around 1947 by an arm team in the beginning days of the communist regime in Romania for many years, their intense rivalry against Dinamo Bucharest dominated the country's soccer scene. They now face more of a rivalry that was born directly from the inside. Today , there are two teams who both have a claim to the Steaua's European Cup final victory over Barcelona and with 21 championships in the league as well as record-breaking twenty Romanian Cup triumphs between 1947 from 2003. It has been so from 2017 - a crucial season in the tale. In that season, a team that was playing in the top tier of competition known as Steaua Bucharest was finally forced by legal actions to drop the name. They changed their name to FCSB and were then forced to surrender their claim to Steaua's glistening history. They continue to challenge the decision. The same year it was the year that a Steaua Bucharest club that claimed to have genuine continuity with the legendary club established 75 years earlier was born within Romania's 4th division. There is now only one league that separates them from FCSB who have attempted to hinder Steaua's climb by supplying top-flight players to their opponents. It was an act of defiance by FCSB's controversial proprietor George Becali, a former shepherd who later became a property tycoon in period following the collapse of communism and amassed a fortune at hundreds of millions pounds. They must change their structure, but they aren't able to achieve it. The team is spending state funds in exchange for nothing. They aren't allowed to play in professional football. " The statement of Becali is not unsubstantial. Steaua are part of the Romanian Ministry of Defence and under current regulations must be in at least some ownership from private sources in order to take the next step on their return to the top of the heap - though this could be scrutinized in the not too distant future. They're at an To consider what could be next in this bizarre and long-running drama, we need to begin by going back to the beginning of the dispute and then a bit further even. The tale closely tied to the turbulent departure from the dictatorial regime that was Nicolae Ceausescu, the communist leader who was executed together with his spouse in 1989 on Christmas Day in 1989.
