Steaua Bucharest no more?

Steaua Bucharest - Romania's biggest and most successful club may have to change their name.

Because of an ongoing legal fight with the Romanian Army over the club's use of the name. Steaua were founded by the decree of the then-high commander of the Romanian Army in the late 1940s. The Army allowed them to keep the name until 2004 when a change of owner met with the Army's disapproval.
