Steaua fans

"Stelists" redirects here. For affiliates of the 1930s political movement, see Crusade of Romanianism.

The term Steaua fans refers to all people who support Steaua București and FCSB, a Romanian sports club with several departments and a Romanian football club, respectively.

As Steaua is, judging by performances, the most successful Romanian football team, they enjoy the biggest support among Romanian football fans. A survey conducted in 2004[1] suggested that the Ghencea-based team accounts for approximately 42% of all Romanian football lovers, meaning about five million fans inside and outside Romania's borders. This large number of supporters is in large part to the club's outstanding performances, both domestically and internationally.

Following the 2014 decision by the High Court of Cassation and Justice in the case initiated three years prior, where CSA Steaua București sued FCSB for the unlawful use of the Steaua name and trademark,[2] the fanbase has split.
