Craiova 1948, hoping for a replay of the match against Sepsi, which was interrupted in the 26th minute due to xenophobic chants, lost 3-0 and will play six games behind closed doors. Olten residents will appeal the decision of the FRF disciplinary commission.

U Craiova 1948 will appeal this decision to the CAS

After receiving the decision, the president of the club announced that he will appeal and if the decision does not change, they are ready to go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to get justice.

“It’s strange, I don’t know what will happen with the competition before the CAS verdict. Whoever made this decision should have thought carefully. Come out somewhere at the end of the playoffs, like the deadline, and let TAS prove us right. Lose the Sepsi match due to organizational flaws. What will happen in the championship then?

The easiest solution was to repeat the match without fans. The biggest mistake was not Chivulete, he applied the rules. The observer, who should have taken the strictest measures, plus the organizer of the game, are most to blame. Sports rules cannot override any law in Romania. Sports rules must be drawn up in accordance with current legislation.

He had to take measures to evacuate the fans. We won’t leave it at that. We will appeal, and if this decision is also unfavorable for us, we will appeal to TAS. Also won the Romanian championship at TAS. We are the laughingstock of Europe, with the cases with which we go to TAS. I was talking to someone there recently.” – said Marcel Puskasfor Digisport.

Adrian Mititelu blames the FRF

Craiova 1948 patron Adrian Mititelu supports two scenarios in which this decision would be made and does not hesitate to attack the Romanian Football Federation.

“The decision of the disciplinary commission has no legal confirmation. We absolve ourselves from all guilt, we cannot be accused of anything. It was an execution! There are two options: either he wanted to set an example because Burleanu wants to force the galleries to stop resorting to racist and xenophobic chants, or this is a Sepsis operation in the playoffs at any cost.

I do not take into account the decision of the appeal commission, because it is a formality. We don’t have deep equity in FRF. Our only hope is TAS. It should be decided by March 4-5, because other competitions, playoffs and playoffs begin. Everything was according to plan from the beginning of the match, including the delegation of the referee Andrii Chivulete. I could be wrong, but there are certain signs that support my scenario.” Adrian Mititelu announcedaccording to VSP.
