In the Europa
\nLeague preliminaries, Romania’s elevens will be up against opponents without an
\nimpressive record list. In the first preliminary round of the competition, Viitorul
\nConstanta has been pitched against Racing Football Club Union of Luxembourg.
\nThe Romanians will be playing their first game abroad on July 12th and
\nthe return match in Ovidiu on July 19th. Racing Football Club won
\nthe Luxembourg Cup last season after a 1-0 win against Hostert in the finals.
\nRacing Football Club ranked 7th with 35 points out of 26 games in
\nthe local championships.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

If they beat
\nRacing Football Club, the Romanian side coached by Gheorghe Hagi will be
\nplaying Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem in the second preliminary round. They would be
\nplaying the first match at home in Ovidiu on July 26th and the

Romania’s
\nvice-champions FCSB are playing directly in the second preliminary round
\nagainst the winners of a game pitching Slovenian side Rudar Velenje against the
\nwinner of the match opposing Tre Fiori of San Marino to the Welsh side Bala
\nTown. Tre Fiori will be taking on Bala Town on June 28th and July 5th
\nand the winner will be up against Rudar Velenje on July 12th and 19th.

Viitorul
\nConstanta has already started training. With former Romanian football legend Gheorghe
\nHagi as their patron and coach, Viitorul has already met Zimbrul Chisinau from
\nthe Republic of Moldova in a home match. We recall that Zimbrul has reaped 8
\nchampionship titles. Viitorul secured a clear win 5-0 though Hagi used an
\nexperimental lineup, sending no less than 31 players to the pitch. Viitorul
\nwill soon be leaving for a training camp in Poland where they are expected to play
\nseveral friendlies until July 6th. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
FSCB is
\ncurrently training in Brasov, central Romania. Croatian Antonio Jakolis has
\nalso joined the side coached by Nicolae Dica. We recall that Jakolis had been
\nborrowed by Cypriot side Appolon Limassol last season. <\/p>\n
