History
In 2018, Alba reached the CEV Champions League Final Four for the first time in their history.[2]
On 5 May 2018, they achieved a historic success for Romania by advancing to the final with 3-1 victory over Galatasaray SK Istanbul in Bucharest.[3] In its first-ever appearance in a continental championship match, Blaj lost in Sunday's grand final at Polyvalent Hall. Vakıfbank Istanbul — Champions League holders in 2017 and runners-up in 2016 — topped Alba 25-17, 25-11, 25-17.[4]
Also in 2018, the Blaj City Council and the Alba County Council decided together to support the construction of a new, 2000-seat arena. The new arena is expected to be ready for 2020.[5]
