Venus Bucureauti

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Venus Bucure¿ti was a Romanian football club based in Bucharest, nicknamed Negrii (English: The Blacks) due to their all black shirts. Before being dissolved by the Communist authorities, Venus was the most successful football club in Romania, winning eight Liga I championships. The club's colours were black and white, and the club crest was an eight-pointed white star. The club was established in 1915 in the old neighborhood of Venus, Bucharest - which does no longer exist after being destroyed by Nicolae Ceaüescu to make room for his People's House and other buildings. The team played at the Venus stadium that opened in 1931. The stadium could hold up to 15,000 spectators and it was the first stadium in Romania to host a match under floodlights - it happened in 1935. The stadium no longer exists and on its location, between The Culture House of Students and Dâmbovi¿a River, there is a park called the Opera Park.
