Alexandru Chipciu

Early career

Chipciu started his career at hometown club Dacia Unirea Brăila in 2001, aged 13. From 2004 to 2006, he played youth football for Sporting Pitești.

FC Brașov

At the age of 18, Chipciu made his senior squad breakthrough at FC Brașov, scoring four goals in his first year with the club. However, he received less playing time as the team aimed promotion to the first division. For the first half of the 2008–09 campaign he was loaned out to Liga II side Forex Brașov, and in the second part he rejoined his former youth club Brăila in Liga III to accumulate more experience. Upon his return to FC Brașov, now promoted to the Liga I, Chipciu again got few opportunities to play constantly. He however had appreciated performances in the 2010–11 season, being one of the best players of the team and attracting the attention of Bucharest rivals Steaua and Dinamo. He eventually chose to stay at Brașov, signing a new contract that would have kept him at the club until 2015. Chipciu had a great start to the 2011–12 season, scoring two important goals in the opening three games.

Steaua București

On 21 December 2011, Steaua București announced that they reached an agreement with FC Brașov for the transfer of Chipciu. He penned a five-year contract, while press reported the transfer fee to be an initial €1.2 million plus 25% interest from a future sale. Chipciu netted his first goal for the club in a 1–1 away draw at Pandurii Târgu Jiu on 31 March 2012,…

On 29 March 2006, Chipciu made his debut for Romania under-17 in a match with Serbia. He also represented the country at under-19 level. Chipciu gained his first cap for the full side in 2011, playing as a starter against San Marino. On 15 November that year, he scored his first senior international goal in a friendly match in Austria with Greece. On 17 May 2016, Chipciu was picked by manager Anghel Iordănescu for his preliminary 28-man UEFA Euro 2016 squad and eventually made it to the final list.
