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.

145 players in Ungheni: the “Vara de Aur” chess festival, above all a children's one, is in full swing

The “Vara de Aur – 2026” chess festival brings 145 players together in six tournaments in Ungheni, between 16 and 19 July, and is organised by Ungheni City Hall. Nearly 6 in 10 participants are children. Only one tournament carries an international FIDE rating, and the only player with a classical title is an international master; no grandmaster is taking part. The Palace of Culture called the competition “one of the most important,” but the festival does not appear in the national competition calendar for 2026.

The man who bought a garage to build a weightlifting gym. Two world champions came out of it

Gheorghe Gorencu worked six years in Spain, came back to Unțești and bought a garage that was up for sale in the village, to turn it into a weightlifting gym. He never charged rent, paid the electricity out of his own salary and took no money from the children. National-team lists name him as the coach of Nicoleta Cojocaru — from the age of eleven — and of Danu Secrieru. He died in 2023. Since 2025, the village of Unțești no longer appears at all in the national weightlifting squad lists.

16 pairs of boots, 12 bibs and 2,000 lei: a former player kits out the Măcărești girls and FCM Ungheni's juniors

Eugen Șarpațchii, a name from the town team's squad two decades ago, has given back to the football he grew up in: he donated 16 pairs of boots and 12 training bibs to the girls of Măcărești and 2,000 lei to FCM Ungheni's U11 and U12 groups. This is no donation to a „charity case” — the girls' team of the „Elada” high school in Măcărești reached the national final of the „Speranța” tournament this spring. A former player helping those who come after him, and a village girls' side that already plays in the country's age-group elite.
