Alin Tudor Adi Stoica (born 10 December 1979 in Bucharest) is a Romanian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Sohar SC in Oman.
Played nearly one decade in his professional career in Belgium, winning almost ten major titles with Anderlecht and Club Brugge combined. In his mid-20's - since leaving the latter team in late 2004 - however, he did not settle with any team until his retirement.
Arriving as a 16-year-old in Belgium after signing with first division giants R.S.C. Anderlecht in 1996, from local FC Steaua Bucureşti, Stoica quickly became a fan favorite (being nicknamed "Le Petit Prince du Parc Astrid"). From 1999–2001, as the Brussels outfit won back-to-back national championships, he contributed with 44 games and 13 goals combined, winning the Young Football of the Year award in the latter season.
However, after Anderlecht chairman refused to award him a new contract with a huge pay rise, Stoica left Anderlecht and signed with league rivals Club Brugge KV, just before the beginning of the 2002–03 campaign. After 19 matches and five goals to help Brugge clinch the league title in his debut season, he gradually fell out of favour and left the club in January 2005, playing with a further two outfits that season, Serie A's A.C. Siena (no appearances) and FC Naţional Bucureşti.
