Cluj Cricket Club was established in 2009 and officially registered in 2010. We are also a founder member of the newly formed Romanian Cricket Federation, and we will be aiming to go one better in this year’s National Championships, after finishing 2nd for two years running.
2013 promises to be an exciting year; the Romanian Cricket Federation is working towards membership of the International Cricket Council (ICC); a task that acknowledges the efforts of the 8 current and 3 new clubs throughout Romania. This is a fantastic achievement given that cricket has only been ‘officially’ played here since 2006.
This year has also seen the inauguration of a new state of the art, dedicated cricket ground, Moara Vlasiei, in Bucharest. It will provide opportunities for cricket teams of all levels from all over the world to visit, as well as the development of Romanian players, umpires and coaches.
Cricket is now a recognised sport by the Romanian Ministry of Education and Cluj Cricket Club hope to be involved in making it another competitive addition to football, athletics and swimming in Romanian school competitions.
