football flash Universitatea Craiova is the first team to have made it to the final of Romania’s Cup in football

Universitatea Craiova lost the away fixture against FC Botosani, 1-2, yet they secured their qualification thanks to the 5-1 first leg win they grabbed on home turf.


On Thursday, in the second semifinal game, Gaz Metan Medias are pitted against AFC Hermannstadt. In the first leg, AFC Hermannstadt Sibiu clinched a 1-nil home win. The Romania's Cup finals have been scheduled for May 27th and will be hosted by the National Arena in Bucharest.


The friendly game pitting Romania's national squad against Finland, to be played on May 5th, will be hosted by the "Ilie Oană" stadium in Ploieşti, a town in southern Romania. According to the president of the Romanian Football Federation Razvan Burleanu, the decision has been made taking into account the fact that the Romanian national team's first game in the League of Nations will also be hosted by the aforementioned stadium in Ploiesti.


Romania's national squad will be playing their debut fixture against the team of Montenegro, on September 7th. The game will be played behind closed doors as the result of a sanction placed by UEFA. On September 10th, Romania will take on Serbia in an away game. On October 11th, Romania will play a fixture against Lithuania, also away from home, while on October 14th, the national squad will be up against Serbia, this time in a home match. On November 17th, Romania takes on Lithuania on home turf, while on November the 20th, Romania faces Montenegro again.


At a press conference, Razvan Burleanu has also made public the fact that he intends to have the number of first leaguers increase from 14 to 16. Burleanu went on to say the new system would be implemented starting with the 2020-2021 season. Four Division B teams would be promoted directly, while the 5th team will be promoted through playoffs.


The Group1/Group 2 system will be kept in place, but the team at the top of the table in group 2 will be granted the chance to fight for a place in Europa League, through a playoff game against the team at the bottom of the table that makes it to Europa League.
