FC UTA Arad, also known as The Old Lady, has roots dating back over 70 years of almost instant success including two championship titles. The team stayed competitive throughout the country for several years before entering a sharp decline that led to its disbanding in 2014. Several key individuals, including a former player, did not accept that this was the end for UTA Arad and started a new team under the name UTA Bătrâna Doamnă. The team has fought its way to regain support from the community and fans after restarting from the 2014 ashes of the original team. In just a few years the new club had risen in rankings from Liga IV (the fourth level within the Romanian football system) to Liga II. Last year the team recovered the name FC UTA Arad as the official and legal successor of the original team.
UTA Arad’s current home ground is the recently renovated Motorul Stadium. This year the local stadium was expanded to double the seating capacity and the natural grass field was replaced with a world-class synthetic turf system. The artificial grass surface features a monofilament, diamond-shaped fiber that is specialized to support soccer players. The carefully crafted Xtreme Turf field is fast but firm so that athletes can move quickly and safely without fear excess fatigue that can lead to injuries of the lower extremities.
UTA Arad currently ranks 3rd within Liga II and has a stacked fall season of matches.
