The "Elemér Tordai Memorial" Tournament

Elemér Tordai's No. 9 jersey was retired by the club
Today starts in Sibiu the 7th edition of the "Elemér Tordai Memorial" Tournament. The three day event which features four teams, wants to be a tribute to one of the best players who ever played for CSU Sibiu. With him on the court the club had it's most glorious period which culminated with winning their only two championships.
Elemér Tordai was born in Mediaș in 1971 and played during his career for Gaz Metan Medias, West Petrom Arad, Dinamo Bucuresti and CSU Sibiu. Wherever he played he was a true professional and an example to be followed by the young players. For this and for his loyalty to CSU Sibiu for which he played in his last seasons, the fans keep him in their hearts even today. He unfortunately passed away in 2007 after a long battle with cancer at only 36 years of age. CSU Sibiu organizes a friendly tournament every year since then, in his memory, a tournament which opens unofficially the new basketball season in Romania.
This year's participants are SCM U Craiova, Universitatea Cluj Napoca, BC Mures Tirgu Mures and the hosts CSU Sibiu. Every team will meet all the others during this three day event, and the winner will be pronounced the one with the most victories.
