Costin Florin Șoavă (born July 24, 1978 in Gârla Mare , Mehedinți County ) is a former Romanian football player . The full-back played a total of 265 games in the Romanian League 1 , the Russian Premjer League and the Ukrainian Premjer-Liha . In 2003 he won the Romanian championship with Rapid Bucharest .

Career

Șoavă's career began in 1996 when he joined Electroputere Craiova's first team , which played in Divizia B (now Liga II ). In his first season he was a regular player, missed promotion to Divizia A (today League 1 ) with the club in second place behind the tied CSM Reșița . Also in the 1997/98 season, the club just missed the rise behind Olimpia Satu Mare and had to admit defeat to FC Oneşti in the relegation game . Only a year later, Șoavă was able to celebrate promotion with his team when the team was able to prevail against UTA Arad in first place . This season he had the biggest yield of his career with seven goals.

Once in the House of Lords, the club could not gain a foothold in Divizia A. During the winter break , the club was in last place in the table and Șoavă joined local rivals FC Universitatea Craiova , who occupied a midfield position. He immediately became a regular at his new club. After a midfield place in the 2000/01 season , he moved to league rivals Rapid Bucharest .

With Rapid, Șoavă was able to win his first title with the 2002 Cup. His first championship followed a year later . In the 2003/04 season he was used less often and left the club in March 2004 when he joined the Russian club Spartak Moscow . The 2004 season he was a regular player, but ended the season with his club in a disappointing eighth place. In the first half of 2005 he was hardly considered by coach Aleksandrs Starkovs and in the summer of 2005 loaned to league rivals Krylja Sowetow Samara , where he played for 18 months and twice managed to stay up with the club.

In early 2007 Șoavă returned to Spartak. The new coach Stanislaw Tschertschessow used him regularly, but he didn't make the leap to become a regular. At the end of the season , he qualified for the Champions League as runner-up behind Zenit St. Petersburg . At the beginning of the 2008 season , Șoavă was no longer considered and moved in the summer to league rivals FK Chimki , with whom he reached the 14th place at the end of the season.

In January 2009 Șoavă returned to Romania and played again for his former club Universitatea Craiova. After a seventh place at the end of the 2008/09 season , he came with his club in the following season in danger of relegation. At the end of January 2010 he moved to the Ukraine for the first division club Arsenal Kiev . He finished the 2009/10 season in the front midfield. In the summer of 2012, his contract in Kiev was not renewed. He returned to Romania and moved to CS Apă Craiova in Liga III . In early 2013 he joined Sporting Roșiori in Liga IV . There he ended his career at the end of 2013.

National team

Șoavă played 22 games for the Romanian national football team . In December 2000 he was appointed by national coach László Bölöni in his squad for two friendlies against Algeria and made his debut on December 5, 2000 when he came on in the 87th minute for Mirel Rădoi . It was only in early 2002 that he was nominated again by Anghel Iordănescu and was used in the friendly against France .

Șoavă was used as a supplementary player only irregularly and was sometimes nominated, but not used. He and his team missed qualifying for the 2004 European Championship . On October 9, 2004, he came against the Czech Republic for the time being for his last use, before he returned in May 2006 under the new coach Victor Pițurcă on a US tour. On May 26, 2006, he played his last international match against Northern Ireland .
