\"\"<\/a>Romfilatelia<\/strong> welcomes sports lovers, by introducing into circulation, on Thursday, December 2 a.c.<\/em>, the postage stamps issue \u201cCentenary of the Politehnica Timi\u0219oara Sports Society\u201d.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The issue, containing 1 stamp and a \u201cFirst Day\u201d Cover, is dedicated to the celebration of a hundred years since the founding of the Politehnica Timi\u0219oara Sports Society. The stamp with the value of Lei 10<\/strong> depicts the silhouette of a football player next to an architectural detail of the facade of the Politehnica University Timi\u0219oara and the current logo of the Politehnica Timi\u0219oara Sports Society.<\/p>\n

Established in 1921, the Politehnica Timi\u0219oara Sports Society had in its coordination several sports sections considered winter (fencing, gymnastics) or summer (tennis, athletics, rugby). At first the representative colors of the club were black and white, later changed to the emblematic white and purple colors (starting with 1966).<\/p>\n

The football team of Timi\u0219oara\u2019s first higher education institution was established on 4 December 1921, at the initiative of the first rector, Traian Lalescu, a great sports lover. If during the interwar period the football team was in the shadow of its neighbours Chinezul and Ripensia, in 1948 Poli was promoted and participated for the first time in Division A. From that moment on, Poli became, for a long time, the flag bearer of football in Timi\u0219oara.<\/p>\n

In 2012, after a troubled period in Timi\u0219oara\u2019s football, the white-purple flag is taken over by ASU Politehnica, the team of the Politehnica University, supported by the Timi\u0219oara Supporters\u2019 Association Druckeria. This team, the only one that currently bears the name of Politehnica, has reached in just four years from the last echelon (L6) to L2 (where it is still now) and has already won one trophy, the national title at U13 junior level (2016).<\/p>\n

After football, the most \u201epopular\u201d Politehnica sport is handball. The section was founded in 1947 and, in just a few years, it has placed Timi\u0219oara on the map of the Romanian handball for men. \u201e\u0218tiin\u021ba\u201d (as the club was then called) became national handball champion in 1956.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Timi\u0219oara\u2019s polytechnic athletes have achieved outstanding results, both nationally and internationally, including at the Olympic Games, World or European Championships. Apart from handball, Olympic medals have been brought to polytechnic sport by rowers. At the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, Aurora Ple\u0219ca, a member of the CS Politehnica, won the silver medal in the 8+1 event. In 1996, at the Olympic Games in Atlanta, we had the first (and the last, for the time being) Olympic champion to be a member of a club from Timis county. This was Camelia Macoviciuc, in the double oars event (alongside Constan\u021ba Burcic\u0103).<\/p>\n

Currently there are five sports entities under the UPT \u201eumbrella\u201d: the football club SSU Politehnica (League II), the multi-sports club CSU Politehnica, the men\u2019s handball section SCM Politehnica (from SCM Timi\u0219oara) (Liga Zimbrilor), the women\u2019s football club Politehnica (League I), the association ASU Politehnica (for university sports and sports for all).<\/p>\n

The Politehnica Timi\u0219oara Sports Society celebrates a century of existence. With satisfaction and joy, Florin Dr\u0103gan, Rector of Politehnica Timi\u0219oara University, states:<\/p>\n

\u201cNot many sports clubs in Romania can be proud of this. This century meant victories, failures, efforts, passions, people. We cannot thank all those who contributed to this phenomenon. It\u2019s about athletes, students, teachers, sports people, supporters, rectors. At this anniversary hour we are proud and continue together this beautiful story of Romanian sport: Politehnica Timi\u0219oara. <\/em><\/p>\n

A sports club, a city, one heart: Politehnica Timi\u0219oara\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

On the First Day Cover of the issue are illustrated images with the club\u2019s teams participating in various sporting events over the years, grouped in a montage-symbol of the club\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

Romfilatelia thanks the Politehnica Timi\u0219oara University and the Politehnica Timi\u0219oara Sports Society for the documentary and photographic support provided to the development of this postage stamps issue. <\/em><\/p>\n
