Five youngsters from the 2004 generation of Politehnica Timisoara have been loaned to Timisoara teams from League 2 and League 3 until the end of the 2022-23 season.

Defender Tudor Moțiu and striker Robert Ehling return to CSC Dumbrăvița (League 2), respectively CSC Ghiroda and Giarmata Vii (League 3), while midfielders Narcis Popovici, Carlos Butar and goalkeeper Mario Cuzmanovici will play for newly promoted CS Phoenix Buziaș.

Tudor Moțiu was born on 19 May 2004, in Timișoara. The central defender played two League 2 matches for Politehnica last season, then was loaned to CSC Dumbrăvița in League 3 in the spring season, where he played a total of 15 matches (1,288 minutes), contributing to the first promotion to the second division. He returned to our team in the summer, but suffered a broken metatarsal in the preseason, after which he is still recovering.

Robert “Pele” Ehling was born on 9 January 2004 in Timișoara. The striker played last season also on loan at CSC Ghiroda. He played in 12 games (580 minutes) and scored two goals in League 3, but due to injury he missed the spring season.

Narcis Ionuț Popovici was born on 20 January 2004 in Timișoara and is a central midfielder by trade.

Carlos Butar was born on 13 November 2004 in Timisoara and plays as a right winger.

Mario Andrei Cuzmanovici was born on 9 February 2004 in Timișoara and is a goalkeeper.

The latter three may be recalled to Politehnica during the winter break. They played last season for our club’s under-19 team in the Elite League and will be in their first official experience at senior level after having been on several occasions in training with the first team members of the white-violet team.

Good luck to them all!
