Football Club Steaua Bucharest is a Romanian professional football club based in Bucharest. They are the most successful Romanian football team in European competitions as well in the Romanian Liga I (25 championship wins). They became the first East European team to win the European Cup, being victorious in the 1986 European Cup final against Barcelona on penalties (2–0, thank’s to goalkeeper Helmuth Duckadam succeeding to save all four penalties taken by the Spaniards), after a goalless draw. At the moment, its only direct link to the Army is their home ground, Stadionul Ghencea, property of the Ministry of National Defence. From 2011, Steaua have played the European games and its most important internal games on the newly constructed National Arena.
Steaua has spent all its history in the country's top-flight league, and has finished below the sixth spot for only five times. Steaua's most important rivalry is the one against FC Dinamo 1948 București. The Great Derby has been the leading Romanian football encounter in the last 60 years, as Steaua and Dinamo are the two most successful football teams in the country. There have been a total of 156 matches played so far between Steaua and Dinamo, in Romanian League, Romanian Cup and also Romanian Super Cup, with the following results: Steaua 55 wins, Dinamo 54 wins and 47 draws. With 43 titles won altogether (Steaua–25; Dinamo–18), the two clubs have won 16 of the last 23 seasons.
OWNERSHIP: George Becali is currently a highly controversial person, whose involvement in the life of the club and the team has often been described as authoritarian and dictatorial by both the media and the fans. Such decisions as threatening to sell the Steaua brand towards the tax authority following a scandal of unpaid taxes, using the club to promote the New Generation Christian Democrat Party, which he runs, banning Queen music from being played during stadium events on grounds of Freddie Mercury's sexual orientations and also various coach sackings (culminating with the one of Gheorghe Hagi) are only few of the reasons of a certain current state of resentment on behalf of the majority of fans towards George "Gigi" Becali.
