A football team changes its name

Poli Timișoara changes its name. Sports Club Science Poli Timişoara will be the name of the football team of Timiş County, announced the president of the Timiş County Council, Alfred Simonis.

« We have the name of the future white-purple club!
Sports Club Science Poli Timișoara is the name that the Banat’s Fanion team will have. The Ministry of Justice has accepted this variant, and next week we will submit to the Timiș Court the documents necessary to set up the club.
Today, the new sports structure has two members: the Timiș County Council and the Polytechnic University, but it takes more if we really want to bring Poli where it is. Timișoara City Hall has the opportunity to join us in this endeavor and I trust that, in the end, it will come with us. It is an important moment for poles and white-violet supporters, with whom we discussed on this topic, and we are not allowed to miss it.
Procedurally, after the establishment of the club, we will take the legal proceedings for financing the team from both the CJ Timiș budget and the Polytechnic University, and when the Timișoara City Hall will join the project will have a financing share. ”, Simonis announced on his Facebook page.

The current « Dan Păltinişanu » stadium in Timisoara is in demolition, and instead of its national investment company will build a new arena with 32,000 places and covered stands. This will be the largest in the country, after the National Arena. The design will take 8 months, and the actual construction will take two years. Costs amount to about 140 million euros.
