Nicolae Stanciu was born on 13 November 1973 in Bucharest, Romania, growing up in the Giulești neighborhood, starting to play football at the junior squads of local club, Rapid at age 10.[1][4][5] He made his Divizia A debut on 16 September 1990, playing for Rapid in a 1–0 home loss in front of Inter Sibiu.[1][4] His first performance with The White-Burgundies was winning the 1997–98 Cupa României, being used by coach Mircea Lucescu all the minutes in the 1–0 win over Universitatea Craiova from the final.[1][4][6] In the following season he helped the club win the league title, appearing in 28 games in which he scored one goal.[1][4][7] Stanciu then helped the team win the 1999 Supercupa României, Lucescu using him the full 90 minutes in the 5–0 victory against rivals Steaua București.[1][4][8] Stanciu's last trophy won with The Railwaymen was the 2001–02 Cupa României, playing all the minutes under the guidance of coach Mircea Rednic in the 2–1 over Dinamo București from the final.[1][4][9] During his years spent with Rapid he also made 29 appearances with one goal scored in European competitions (including four matches in the Intertoto Cup).[1][4]

In 2002, Stanciu went to play for Anzhi Makhachkala, making his debut in the Russian Premier League on 25 August under coach Gadzhi Gadzhiyev in a 3–1 away loss in front of CSKA Moscow, gaining a total of nine appearances in the league until the end of the season.[1][4][10] Afterwards he returned to Romania, signing with FC Oradea, making his last Divizia A appearance on 12 May 2004 in a 1–1 with Oțelul Galați, having a total of 345 matches with 13 goals scored in the competition.[1][4]

On 13 May 2020, Gazeta Sporturilor included him in a first 11 of best Romanian players who never played for Romania's national team.[11] In September 2014 he was appointed president at Rapid București, a position he held until December.[4][12]
