Previous meetings • Osmanlıspor beat Steaua 2-0 in Ankara when the sides met for the first time on matchday one; it was the Turkish club's first encounter with Romanian opponents. • Steaua's record in ten meetings with Turkish teams is W4 D3 L3 (W3 D1 L1 at home). Form guide • Steaua have drawn 1-1 in both of their Group L home fixtures to date. • Osmanlıspor's record in five European away matches this season is W3 D1 L1, that sole defeat coming at Zürich on matchday two. • Steaua have qualified for the round of 32 in four of their seven previous UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League group stage campaigns; they missed out in the most recent of these, 2014/15. • This is Osmanlıspor's first UEFA group stage venture; they previously competed in Europe under the name Ankaraspor. Links and trivia • The journey from Ankara to Bucharest is around 750km. • Osmanlıspor's Raul Rusescu is well known to Steaua fans, having scored 34 goals in 65 league games for the club from 2011–13, and returned on loan from Sevilla in 2014/15. • Osmanlıspor's Polish defender Łukasz Szukuła also played for Steaua from 2012–15, as well as representig Gloria Bistriţa (2010–11), Universitatea Cluj (2011–12), Petrolul Ploieşti (2012) in Romania. • Steaua defender Gabriel Tamaş plied his trade in Turkey with Galatasaray (2003–04), while team-mate Alexandru Bourceanu is back in Romania after two years at Trabzonspor (2014–16). • Osmanlıspor's Avdija Vršajević and Steaua's Antonio Jakoliš were team-mates at Hajduk Split in 2012. The coaches • Laurenţiu Reghecampf won two titles as a midfielder with Steaua and two more in his first stint as coach, from 2012 to 2014. He returned to Bucharest in December 2015 after a spell in Bulgaria with Litex Lovech, with whom he had claimed a championship as a player in 1998/99. • Hired in July 2015, Mustafa Reşit Akçay earned Osmanlıspor a European place with a fifth-placed finish last season. He had been in charge of a number of lower-profile sides in Turkey before leading Trabzonspor through the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League group stage. 4 FCSB - Osmanlıspor Thursday 24 November 2016 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Arena Națională, Bucharest Team facts FC Steaua Bucureşti Formed: 1947 Nickname: Militarii (Army Men) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • European Champion Clubs' Cup (1): 1986, (1989) • UEFA Super Cup (1): 1986 Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 26 (2015) Romanian Cup: 22 (2015) Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2015/16: play-offs (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2014/15: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2013/14: UEFA Champions League group stage 2012/13: round of 16 2011/12: round of 32 2010/11: group stage 2009/10: group stage 2008/09: UEFA Champions League group stage 2007/08: UEFA Champions League group stage 2006/07: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 6-0: Steaua v Aalborg BK 18/09/14, UEFA Europa League group stage 6-0: Steaua v BSC Young Boys 03/10/79, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup first round second leg • Biggest away win 1-5: AC Sparta Praha v Steaua 07/09/88, European Champion Clubs' Cup first round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-5: Steaua v Manchester City FC 16/08/16, UEFA Champions League play-offs, first leg • Heaviest away defeat 5-0 on three occasions, most recently v Maccabi Haifa FC 20/10/11, UEFA Europa League group stage UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 6-0: Steaua v Aalborg BK (see above) • Biggest away win 1-4: FC Levadia Maardu v Steaua 26/08/99, qualifying round second leg 0-3 on three occasions, most recently v FC Spartak Trnava 09/08/12, third qualifying round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 1-5: Steaua v VfB Stuttgart 22/11/12, group stage • Heaviest away defeat 5-0: Maccabi Haifa FC v Steaua (see above) Osmanlıspor Formed: 1978 (formerly Ankaraspor) Nickname: Osmanlılar (The Ottomans) 5 FCSB - Osmanlıspor Thursday 24 November 2016 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Arena Națională, Bucharest UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • none Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) None Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2015/16: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2014/15: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2013/14: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2011/12: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2009/10: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2008/09: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2007/08: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2006/07: did not take part in UEFA club competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 5-0: Osmanlıspor v Zimbru Chisinau 21/07/16, UEFA Europa League second qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win 0-2: Nõmme Kalju v Osmanlıspor 04/08/16, UEFA Europa League third qualifying round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-4: Osmanlıspor v Dubnica 02/07/05, UEFA Intertoto Cup second round first leg • Heaviest away defeat 2-1: Zürich v Osmanlıspor 29/09/16, UEFA Europa League group stage UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 5-0: Osmanlıspor v Zimbru Chisinau (see above) • Biggest away win 0-2: Nõmme Kalju v Osmanlıspor (see above) • Heaviest home defeat N/A • Heaviest away defeat 2-1: Zürich v Osmanlıspor (see above) 6 FCSB - Osmanlıspor Thursday 24 November 2016 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Arena Națională, Bucharest Squad list FCSB Current season All-time UCL UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
