SSC Farul Constanța (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈfarul konˈstant͡sa]) is a professional football club from Constanța, Romania that was established in 1949. The club is currently inactive after being excluded from Liga III in August 2016.
In Romanian farul means "the lighthouse". Farul Constanța are also a well-known rugby union team, which hosted the first Heineken Cup rugby match.
In the summer of 2016, FC Farul was declared bankruptcy and excluded from Liga III, after the club withdrew from Liga II earlier in that summer. In an attempt to save the team, Farul supporters refounded the club as SSC Farul and enrolled it in Liga IV.
In 1949, the two football clubs of Constanța, Dezrobirea Constanța and PCA Constanța (Porturi Comunicații Ape), were merged to create a new team, Locomotiva PCA Constanța, that played in the Divizia B (the 2nd League). After the 1954 edition, the team promoted for the first time to the 1st League (Divizia A), and in 1958, the team's name was changed from Locomotiva to Farul Constanța.
Notably, the 2004–05 Divizia A season brought for Farul some outstanding performances that enabled it to finish the season on the 5th place and reach to its first ever Romanian Cup final match, which they lost 0–1 to FC Dinamo București.
