FC Oțelul Galați is a Romanian football club from the city of Galați, competing in the Romanian SuperLiga. The team's name, meaning "Steel," reflects the city's industrial background, and they play at the Oțelul Stadium. Founded in 1964, the club's traditional colors are white and blue. Oțelul's history is defined by one spectacular, fairy-tale season. The 2010-11 campaign under manager Dorinel Munteanu saw this modest club defy all odds to win the Liga I title, securing a historic first championship and a place in the UEFA Champions League group stage, where they faced the likes of Manchester United. That title-winning team, featuring players like Gabriel Giurgiu and Liviu Antal, became legends in Galați. In the years since that pinnacle, the club has faced financial difficulties and relegations but has fought its way back to the top flight, symbolizing resilience. The modern Oțelul aims to re-establish itself as a stable SuperLiga side. The supporters are famously passionate, remembering the glory of 2011 and continuing to back their team through thick and thin.
