Unirea Ungheni, the Romanian second division club, has commenced a crucial training camp in Hungary from July 7 to 18, 2025, under coach Eusebiu Tudor. This camp aims to finalize the squad and sharpen tactical preparations ahead of the new Liga 2 season. The team will play four friendly matches during the camp, including clashes against the Puskas Academy and Hungarian second league teams, with a promise of a high-profile opponent in the final friendly[1][3].
Significantly, the squad has been reinforced with two new arrivals: 20-year-old central defender Dominik Șoptirean, returning on loan from CFR Cluj for a second season, and 31-year-old winger Constantin Sandu, a former Moldovan international with extensive experience at Petrocub Hîncești. Additionally, Unirea secured the permanent signing of young central midfielder Eric Andrei Vînău from U Cluj, who participated in last season’s campaign and the recent team reunion. Several key players, including striker Cosmin Bîrnoi and goalkeeper Robert Geantă, have extended their contracts, underscoring the club’s intent to build on stability and continuity[1].
These strategic moves and rigorous preparations reflect Unirea Ungheni’s ambition to consolidate their status in Liga 2 and to improve on last season’s performance, signaling a focused and competitive approach for the 2025–2026 campaign.
