Current season

Fotbal Club Petrocub Hîncești, commonly known as Petrocub Hîncești (PET-roe-kub hin-CHESHT), or simply Petrocub, is a Moldovan professional football club from Hîncești. They play in the Super Liga, the top tier of Moldovan football.[1] Its home ground is the Municipal Stadium in Hîncești.

History

[edit]

In January 2024, Petrocub Hîncești entered into a partnership with an unnamed investment company, which also saw former Asante Kotoko CEO, Nana Yaw Amponsah, being named as the new President of the club.[2] On 18 May 2024, after a 4–1 victory over Zimbru Chișinău, Petrocub Hîncești have been declared champions of the Super Liga for the first time in their history.

On 13 August 2024, after winning their UEFA Europa League third qualifying round tie against The New Saints, they advanced to the play-off round. However, they were ultimately defeated by Ludogorets Razgrad, which moved them down to the league phase of the UEFA Conference League, making them only the second Moldovan team to reach the group or league stage of a UEFA club competition.
