LSS Voinţa Sibiu is a Romanian football team from Sibiu, Sibiu County, founded in 2012 as a fan-owned phoenix club of the dissolved CSU Voința Sibiu. The club also has a women's football section.
History
CSU Voinţa continued the football tradition in Sibiu after the dissolution of FC Sibiu and FC Inter Sibiu. The club promoted from the Liga IV to the Liga I in just three seasons. However CSU Voința relegated after only one season of top football, finishing 16th in the table, with 32 points.
After only 11 rounds played in the 2012–13 Liga II Voința withdrew from the championship, because of immense debts.[1]
A phoenix club was immediately created. In 2014 created plans to stage a "Football without owners" tournament on the 10th January 2015, inviting other fan-owned phoenix clubs which have been formed due to the mismanagement of their original counterparts: Argeș 1953, SS Politehnica Timișoara and FC Vaslui, at the event they finished on the second place.
On June 28, they won their first ever trophy the Sibiu County Faze of Romanian Cup, by defeating Silvatex Orlat (7-2) in the final.
Fans
The fans see LSS as the direct successor of CSU's heritage and therefore try to replicate this in every way. The supporters group are called Peluza Sud.
