Fighter Pavel Andrușca, who served his athletic apprenticeship at the Ungheni Sports School, won by first-round knockout at the UAE Warriors 72 gala in Abu Dhabi on Thursday, 23 July.

Twice a national "Youth Capital," Ungheni dedicates a week to a shrinking youth

From 10 to 16 August, the Ungheni city hall and the Municipal Youth Centre are holding "Youth Week" (ZiT 2026) around International Youth Day on 12 August. Ungheni has good reason to call itself a "city of youth" — it held the national title of Youth Capital twice, in 2011 and 2023. But the celebration takes place in a district the young leave first: the number of people aged 15–34 has halved over the past decade, faster than the national average. We explain what the event is, where the "city of youth" identity comes from, and why, here, a youth week is more than a summer party.

What you can get for free from your family doctor in Ungheni: cancer screening, vaccines, TB checks

On 23 July, the director of the Ungheni Health Centre presented the district council with a mid-year report on primary healthcare for the first half of 2026. Beyond the report-style language, the five „priority directions” are, in fact, a list of prevention services any Ungheni resident can request for free — from the cervical cancer test to vaccines and tuberculosis screening. We explain what each one is, who is entitled to it, what is free and how to reach it through your family doctor — and why, in an ageing district where seven in ten people die of heart disease and cancer, prevention matters here more than the average.

Mihai's birthday wish: 43.287 lei to sterilise 30 dogs from the Ungheni shelter

For his birthday, at 30, Mihai Lazar — a veterinarian at the AlgaVet clinic in Ungheni and president of the ALGA association — made a single wish: to raise 30.000 lei to sterilise 30 dogs from the Ungheni shelter. The wish came true and then some: 43.287,20 lei. Beyond the warm gesture, the stake is one of public health — in a district that in 2025 was among the hardest hit by rabies in the country, and where sterilisation, coupled with vaccination, is the method international bodies recommend instead of mass killing.

The traditional houses of Ungheni's villages are vanishing. Documenting them has become “an emergency”

A workshop organized by the Culture and Tourism Department at Petrești, on 23 July, raised a problem larger than a single day of sessions: the peasant houses of clay, wood and reed thatch in the district's villages are being lost, against a backdrop of depopulation of more than 22% in a decade, and the ordinary ones hold no monument status. What most often remains is only what someone manages to document — a method with deep roots right here, at Cornova, where Dimitrie Gusti's team was already “reading” the village back in 1931.

Viitorul Ungheni's kids are Moldova's U13 beach soccer runners-up

The U13 children's team of the Ungheni District Sports School, “Viitorul”, came back from Chișinău with silver medals: 2nd place at Moldova's national beach soccer championship, 2026 edition, out of a field that both the club and the parents put at 16 teams. It is a step above the bronze the same school took in 2023, in a sport dominated by the capital's clubs and contested on the country's only sand arena.

564 years since the first record: Ungheni celebrated its Municipality Days and twinned with Tulcea and Izmit

Ungheni's Municipality Days took place from 20 to 31 August. The celebration opened on 20 August for a precise reason: on that day, in 1462, the settlement is mentioned for the first time in a document — 564 years ago. The programme included the launch of a local-history yearbook, a folklore festival and concerts by performers with Ungheni roots, and on 27 August two new twinning agreements were signed, with the municipality of Tulcea in Romania and the city of Izmit in Turkey.

Yellow fire code, ten days nationwide: what the law bans and what burning stubble costs

The Authority for Meteorology and Environmental Monitoring has extended its warning of exceptional danger of vegetation fires until 31 July, for most of the country — including the Ungheni district, in the middle of its harvest campaign. The law bans burning stubble and plant residue, and the fine reaches 15,000 lei for an individual and 40,000 for a company. Last year, fires lit by people were the main cause of blazes in the fields.

Burebista Street in Sculeni enters construction: how a half-billion state programme reaches the village

The Sculeni commune hall announced on 23 July the start of works to modernise Burebista Street, through a government programme for repairing local roads, “Europe is Near”. The project, approved by the council in May 2025 after consultations with residents, was put out to a tender worth over 4 million lei, to which five firms applied. After a challenge upheld in full by the disputes authority and a re-evaluation of the offers, the contract was awarded to Vicoliv Grup, which had submitted the lowest price. This is a different Burebista Street from the one refurbished in Ungheni.
