Club career

[edit]

Liviu Ganea was born on 23 February 1988 in Brăila, Romania, starting to play junior level football at six years old in 1994 at Farul Constanța.[2][3] In 2001 he moved at Școala de Fotbal Gheorghe Popescu, four years later starting his senior career at Dinamo București, making his Liga I debut on 15 October 2005 when coach Ioan Andone sent him on the field in the 80th minute in order to replace Alexandru Bălțoi in a 5–0 home win over CFR Cluj.[2][4][5] In the following season, he scored two goals in the league, the first one on 18 March 2007 in a 1–1 draw against UTA Arad, then on 29 April in a 2–0 win over Gloria Bistrița, having a total of nine league games under coach Mircea Rednic, as the team won the title.[2][6][7] Ganea was loaned by Dinamo to Otopeni for the 2008–09 season where he managed to scored seven goals but the team relegated to Liga II.[2][8][9] For the next season he was loaned to Astra Ploiești where he netted a personal record of 11 goals, one in each of the two victories against Rapid București and two doubles in the wins against Unirea Alba Iulia and Brașov.[2][8][10] In 2010, Ganea returned to Dinamo, scoring eight goals during the 2010–11 season, most notably managing a brace in a 3–2 win in a derby against Rapid as the club made a comeback from 0–2.[2][3]

In the middle of the 2011–12 season he left Dinamo to go at CFR Cluj where coaches Jorge Costa and Ioan Andone used him in five league matches as the team won the championship.[2][6][11] In the following two seasons, CFR loaned him to Concordia Chiajna and Brașov, at the latter managing to score his last two goals in the Romanian league in a draw against Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț and a loss to Universitatea Craiova.[2][12] Afterwards he went at CSMS Iași where he made his last Liga I appearances, having a total of 150 matches with 31 goals scored in the competition, also earning a total of seven games with one goal scored in European competitions,.[2][13]

Ganea ended his career in 2019, after playing a few years in the Romanian lower leagues for Academica Clinceni and Carmen București.[14]
