FC Universitatea Cluj and Nova Power & Gas, a major Romanian energy company, announce the conclusion of a strategic partnership starting with the 2026-2027 competitive season. Thus, Nova Power & Gas becomes the club’s Elite Sponsor, and the company’s logo is included on the back of the team’s official playing jersey.
The partnership between FC Universitatea Cluj and Nova Power & Gas brings together two organizations with strong roots in Cluj and a common vision built around performance, responsibility and sustainable development. Nova Power & Gas aims to bring more energy both on the field and in the University’s fan community, supporting a club that transforms passion, tradition and ambition into a constant engine of performance.
“We are very happy with our partnership with FC Universitatea Cluj. In energy, as in sports, performance comes from strategy, team and consistency. These are values that we share and that have brought us, each in our own field, from Cluj to a national scale. Supporting “U” means, for us, supporting the city we belong to”, declares Andrei Mureșan, Deputy Group CEO of E-INFRA, the entrepreneurial group of which Nova Power & Gas is also a part.
The collaboration between the two organizations will go beyond the presence on the official playing equipment and will include initiatives dedicated to supporters and the community, strengthening the connection between the local business environment and one of the most important sporting symbols of Transylvania.
“The partnership with Nova Power & Gas confirms the direction that FC Universitatea Cluj has assumed in recent years: building a high-performance, stable club permanently connected to the community of which it is a part. We are happy to have a partner who shares the same values and the same vision of long-term development. We believe that sustainable performance occurs when sports and the business environment collaborate to generate real impact, both on and off the field,” said Radu Constantea, President of FC Universitatea Cluj.
This association has a special significance for both partners, bringing together two brands that built their identity in Cluj and have gained national prominence over time, through investment and perseverance, but which continue, together with the local community, to contribute to the development of the city and the region. Determination, team spirit and the desire to perform thus become elements that define both the activity of Nova Power & Gas and the sporting history of FC Universitatea Cluj.
“This strategic partnership is an important step forward for our club. Starting today, FC Universitatea Cluj has a strong and ambitious company alongside us that, like us, is aiming higher and higher, attacking hierarchies and changing the status quo. It is important for “U” to have support primarily from companies with strong roots in Cluj. It was our desire to bring the most powerful businessmen in Transylvania to the University. I thank Teofil Mureșan, Andrei Mureșan and Simion Mureșan for their trust in our project. They have always been close to “U” Cluj and I am glad that today we were able to formalize this collaboration”, said Mihai Moga, Brand Manager of FC Universitatea Cluj.
Nova Power & Gas is a company active in the sports life of Cluj residents and beyond. Among the supported initiatives are the partnership with Transilvania Open, Sports Festival, the largest multi-sport event in Romania, and Urban Playfield, the festival that takes sports to the streets and takes it to cities across the country.
