In 1957, playing in the semifinal group from Craiova, Tr. Stanciu managed to enter the select group of finalists for the Romanian championship. Thus, at the border between 1957 and 1958, at the 21st edition of the individual national championships, Traian Stanciu entered in his record his first participation in a national final. At the beginning of 1958 we find him in the Constructorul team, a colleague of Victor Ciocâltea, and later, in July 1958, he is part of the Romanian team in the match with Poland played at Polanica Zdroj (score 29 - 35).
