FC Milsami Orhei
Milsami is a football
club from the Republic of Moldova. It is stationed in Orhei, a town about 50 km
awaz from the capital, Chisinau.
Initially, the club
was founded in the village Step Sochi in 2005 under the name
"Viitorul" (which means ‘’the future’’).
After placement in
the B National Division, the club moved to the nearby city of Orhei and as a
host it began to play on the renovated Stadium ‘’Complex Sportiv Nacional’’ (‘’National
Sport Complex’’) with a capacity of around 3,000 places. The stadium is open between
the seasons and the citizens of Orhei can freely use the athletic track and
auxiliary terrains for all kind of physical activities. The stadium does not
have a shop for the sale of souvenirs, scarves and jerseys of the football club
Milsami.
In 2010, a club from
Orhei changed its original name to Milsami Soccer Club. Although the club
players are relatively young, they manage to win the national championship in
the season of 2014/15, as well as national Cup 2012. The Milsami football team
was mostly composed of Moldovan national team players, with an increasing
number of foreigners mainly from Croatia, Nigeria and Romania (whose
footballers had the greatest contribution to winning the 2015 Championship
title). The successes of the football club Milsami coincide with the business rise
and the "undertakings" of the young businessman and the club
president Ilan Shor. Despite the house arrest and accusations of the
anti-corruption agency for fraudulent purchases of three National Banks, which,
according to the agency, caused the financial destabilization of the entire
country, Ilan Shor was elected for Mayor of Orhei in June 2015 on the local
elections.
In this analysis of
the Football Club Milasami, I cannot go further without mentioning the
extremely friendly relations between the aforementioned President of Milsami
and the honorary president of the Dacia Football Club from Chisinau, also a
wealthy businessman, Gabriel Statue. There is no doubt that Milsamy's players
will be at the top of Moldovan football as long as the club president is a 30
year old controversial businessman.
Milsami played
against France's Saint Etienne and it was eliminated from further competition
after a close defeat in France with the result of 1: 0. It was its most
important game, in Play Off, to enter
the group stage of the European League
in the 2015/16 season. The hosts played against the French team Milsami at the
Zimbru stadium in Chisinau, because the stadium in Orhei does not meet the UEFA
requirements for playing international matches in the play.
You can easily get to
the Zumbru stadion from the center of Chisinau by taking the trolley number 22, and driving takes about
45 minutes.
The biggest surprise by
Milsamni was in the second round of qualifications for the Champions League
2015/16 when the club managed to eliminate the Bulgarian champion Ludogorec
from Razgrad, which had been a regular participant of group stage of the
European competition until that time. In the following round Milsami was already
eliminated by the Albanian champions, but the competition continued in the
already mentioned play off. In the current season, in the first round of
qualifications for the Europa League, Milsami was eliminated by Flora Esch team
from Luxembourg.

FK Milsami Orhei
Milsami je fudbalski
klub iz Republike Moldavije. Stacioniran je u Gradu Orheju udaljenom 50-ak km
od glavnog grada Kišinjeva. Prvobitno, klub je bio osnovan u selu Step Soči
2005. godine pod imenom ,,Viitorul" (što u prevodu znači budućnost).
Plasmanom u B
nacionalnu diviziju klub je prešao u obližnji grad Orhei i svoje utakmice kao
domaćin igra na renoviranom stadionu ,,Complex Sportiv National"
kapaciteta oko 3000 mesta. Stadion je u pauzi između sezona otvoren i građani
Orheja mogu slobodno koristiti atletsku stazu i pomoćne terene za obavljanje
fizičkih aktivnosti. Stadion ne poseduje šop za prodaju suvenira, šalova i
dresova fudbalskog kluba Milsami.
Godine 2010. klub iz
Orheja je promenio svoj prvobitni naziv u Fudbalski klub Milsami. Iako je klub
relativno mlad, fudbaleri Milsamija uspevaju da osvoje nacionalni šampionat u sezoni
2014/15, kao i nacionalni kup 2012. Fudbalski tim Milsami je uglavnom
sastavljen od reprezentativaca Moldavije, uz sve veći broj stranaca uglavnom iz
Hrvatske, Nigerije i Rumunije (čija su fudbaleri imali najveći doprinos
osvajanju šampionske titule 2015. godine).
Uspesi fudbalskog
kluba Milsami poklapaju se sa poslovnim usponom i ,,podvizima" mladog
biznismena i predsednika kluba Ilana Shor-a. I pored kućnog pritvora i optužbi
agencije za borbu protiv korupcije zbog malverzacija prilikom kupovine 3 nacionalne
banke, čime je po rečima agencije izazvao i finansijsku destabilnost cele
države, Ilan Shor je izabran na lokalnim izborima za gradonačelnika grada Orheia
u Junu 2015. godine. U ovoj analizi Fudbalskog kluba Milasami ne mogu, a da ne
pomenem i izuzetno prijateljske odnose između pomenutog predsednika Milsamija i
počasnog predsednika Fudbalskog kluba Dačia iz Kišinjeva takođe bogatog
biznismena, Gabriela Statua. Nema sumnje da će se fudbaleri Milsamija održati u
vrhu
Svoju najvažniju
utakmicu, u Plej Ofu za ulazak u grupnu fazu Lige Evrope u sezoni 2015/16,
Milsami je odigrao protiv francuskog Sent
Etjena i eliminisan je iz daljeg takmičenja posle tesnog poraza u Francuskoj sa
rezultatom 1:0. Utakmicu kao domaćin protiv francuskog tima Milsami je odigrao
na stadionu Zimbrua u Kišinjevu, zbog toga što stadion u Orheju ne ispunjava
uslove UEFE za odigravanje međunarodnih utakmica u plej ofu.
Do stadiona Zumbrua
možete najlakše doći iz centra Kišinjeva tranvajem broj 22, a vožnja traje oko
45 minuta.
Najveće iznenađenje
Milsamni je priredio u drugom kolu kvalifikacija za Ligu šampiona 2015/16 kada
je uspeo da eliminiše bugarskog šampiona Ludogorec iz Razgrada, koji je do tog
trenutka bio redovan učesnik grupnih faza evropskih takmičenja. Već sledeće
runde Milsami je eliminisan od šampiona Albanije, ali je takmičenje nastavio u
već opisanom plej ofu.
U tekućoj sezoni, u
prvom kolu kvalifikacija Lige Evrope, Milsami je eliminisan od Tima Flora Eš iz
Luksemburga.
