This weekend, FK Csíkszereda is organizing an international football tournament dedicated to the memory of the late Csaba Burus, one of the key founders of today's football successes in Miercurea Ciuc. The event will take place in the sports park, which, following the tournament, will be named after the coach who left us far too soon.

The first edition of the Csaba Burus Memorial Tournament is organized for U15 teams, with participants arriving from three countries. We welcome Budapest Honvéd and Nyíregyházi Spartacus from Hungary, FC Košice from Slovakia, and Sepsi OSK, CFR Cluj and of course the Székely Land Football Academy’s team team from Transylvania. The matches will be played on the grass fields of the Sports Park, with group stage matches on Saturday and placement games on Sunday.

During the tournament, we will also hold the naming ceremony of the Sports Park, which from now on will bear the name of Csaba Burus. “This occasion is more than just a sporting event – it is a shared tribute to Csaba Burus (1968–2016), a devoted youth football coach in Miercurea Ciuc, an exceptional man, husband, father, colleague, and friend. His work and humanity left a deep mark on our community and in the lives of young people,” states the FK Csíkszereda leadership in the event invitation.
